Deposition, 1813.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122567938

Deposition, 1813 Aug. 2, in which Manac (alternate spelling, McNac) discussed the Council held at Tuckabatchee, Ala. led by Tecumseh in Oct. and Nov. of 1812, as an ally of the British, who attempted to cause an uprising in the Old Southwest, in which both the Indians and the British would prosper at the expense of the Americans. The plan, largely successful, was to have the Cherokee, and Creek tribes on the Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Black Warrior Rivers attack American settlements on the Tombigbee River, the Creeks bordering the Cherokees to attack Tenn. settlements, and the Seminoles to attack Ga. settlements, with the Choctaws to attack the Mississippi settlements [including Ala. and Miss. now]. All of these attacks were to occur simultaneously, with the British supplying the ammunition, and the prophet Francis sanctioning the attacks. Manac also noted the damage done to his plantation by the marauding tribes. The attacks were also designed to kill the individual Indians who had sided with the Americans, particularly William McIntosh, Captain Isaacs, and others. This deposition was transcribed by Harry Toulmin before his death in 1824.
