Description:Excerpt from Reminiscences When my father moved to Columbus there were many Creek Indians in Russell County, Ala., who soon became hostile and killed many men, women, and children. There were seven of them tried for murder in Girard just across the Chattahoochee River and hung at the same time from the same gallows. On ascending the scaffold each one was asked if he had ever done anything for which he was sorry; six answered no; the other said he killed an entire family the last one of which was a babe he took from its cradle and dashed its brains out against a tree; he said he took the baby in his arms, it smiled in his face; for this he was sorry and for nothing else. As the trap was sprung they gave the terrible Indian war whoop. Soon after this the tribe was removed by the United States Government to the far West, and in 1906 and 1907 I saw many Creek Indians in Indian Territory.
