Battle of Chickasawachee Swamp. Near here, in Chickasawachee Swamp, a decisive battle of the Southern Indian Wars was fought July 3, 1836. About 300 warriors were entrenched on an island in the swamp, after a raid in which they killed several settlers. A force of militia under command of Col. Thomas Beall followed them into the swamp and a fierce battle was fought. A number of Indians were killed, and 13 soldiers wounded, 1 mortally. A large amount of plunder taken in the tragic raid on Roanoke was recovered here. This battle broke the Indians' march into Florida, and scattered their main force into small parties. 004-2 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1968
