LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR, TRANSMITTING COPIES OF ALL THE LETTERS AND CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE SECRETARY OF WAR AND GEN. ANDREW JACKSON, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE CREEK WAR, TO MARCH 1st, ... A compilation of Jackson's letters to Secretary of War John Armstrong during the Creek War of 1814-15, tending to defend Jackson against persistent allegations that he acted unfairly to the Indians after the conclusion of hostilities in the war. Jackson's last letter here is a plea to the War Department that the United States should spend no small amount of time and money to feed and clothe the defeated Creeks, lest they see fit to side with the British troops who are "no doubt...on our coast" and arming the Indians for battle against the Americans. Scarce.
