Six miles north, on December 23, 1813, General F.L. Claiborne's army defeated the Creeks and destroyed the Holy Ground Indian Village. One American was killed and 33 Creeks. William "Red Eagle" Weatherford escaped by leaping on horseback into the river and swimming across. This defeat closed the Creek military operations in South Alabama and facilitated General Jackson's victory at Horseshoe Bend.
