Abstract
The article reports on the bicentennial of the stagecoach inn and tavern where Chief William McIntosh, the half-Scottish, half-Creek leader of the Lower Creek Indians, signed the Treaty of Indian Springs on February 12, 1825. It recalls the story of the Treaty of Indian Springs, which declared the sale of Muscogee land in Georgia to the U.S. and led to the death of McIntosh. It informs the 33rd Annual Native Peoples Festival & Powwow hosted by the Butts County Historical Society.
