Gen. Sherman's Right  Flank at  Indian Springs, GA
Sherman's Army marched from McDonough to Jackson, GA, then to Indian Springs and camped there before crossing the Ocmulgee River 6 miles to the east. Indian Springs is also the site where Chief McIntosh (Creek Indians) signed a land treaty with the US in 1821 giving the US all land East of the Flint River, thus sending the Creeks on the trail of tears to Oklahoma.
