Chief Weatherford in Jackson's tent. This nineteenth-century engraving depicts
the well-known moment after the Creek War (1813-14) when Red Stick chief William
Weatherford, aka Red Eagle, initiated his alliance with Andrew Jackson.
Weatherford's action was celebrated by American historians and politicians. Less
celebrated was the chief's connection to slave raiding sorties into Florida,
undertaken in concert with Jackson's other Creek ally, William McIntosh. American
