Symposium on Creek War and War of 1812 to be held at Auburn
The College of Liberal Arts will host a public dialogue with scholars from around the nation during a two-day symposium on the Creek War and the War of 1812 on May 22-23 at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. The symposium, cosponsored by the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts and Humanities in the College of Liberal Arts and Horseshoe Bend National Military Park in Daviston, Ala., will feature scholars from around the nation, including Gregory Dowd, "A Spirited Resistance: The North American Indian Struggle for Unity, 1745-1815"; David and Jeanne Heidler, "Old Hickory's War: Andrew Jackson and the Quest for Empire"; and Gregory Waselkov, "A Conquering Spirit: Fort Mims and the Red Stick War of 1813-1814." Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, located just 30 miles from Auburn, is one of four "War of 1812" parks in the National Park System and site of the 1814 battle where General Andrew Jackson led an army of 3,300 men to defeat 1,000 Upper Creek warriors. As a result of the battle, the Creeks ceded some 20 million acres of land to the United States. Registration fees for the conference are $25 for one day and $40 for both days and include lunch and refreshments.
