Fort Gaines, Georgia: A Military History (Forts Of The Forgotten Frontier)

Fort Gaines was a U.S. military post on the Georgia frontier in 1816-1821. Built as a result of Native American resistance to the terms of the Treaty of Fort Jackson, the fort played an important role in both the Prospect Bluff or Negro Fort Campaign of 1816 and the First Seminole War of 1817-1818. It was on the front lines of the internal conflict between between the traditional leaders of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and the Red Stick warriors who fled to the borderlands of Spanish Florida following the Creek War of 1813-1814.
