内容简介

ar! Rumors of battle were spreading like wildfire
through the small town of Winchester??? Tennessee.
Davy Crockett and his good friend Georgie
Russel stood with an excited crowd in front of the court-
house??? waiting for the official news. Farmers??? hunters???
mule drivers??? carpenters??? and some local Cherokee Indian
people joined them.
Everyone knew that since the previous year??? 1812???
the British had been fighting the Americans up north???
near Canada??? but this latest struggle was reported to be
down south??? close to Tennessee. Had the British moved
their forces south??? or had something else happened?
A lawyer named Sam Jones climbed the courthouse
steps and faced the crowd. \"Gentlemen???\" he cried???
\"there has been a massacre! Five hundred people have
been killed in Alabama! Not two weeks ago on August
30 in this year of our Lord??? 1813??? Creek Indian warriors
murdered men??? women??? and children in Fort Mims!\"
