The Battle of Fowltown took place in the swamps of Southwest Georgia on November 21-23, 1817. It was the first engagement of the Seminole Wars, a series of bloody and tragic conflicts that lasted for more than forty years. Fowltown is more than the history of a battle, it is the story of Neamathla and the people of the Lower Creek town of Tutalosi Talofa. They stood in the face of changing times and westward expansion of the United States and waged a determined fight to preserve their homes, land and way of life.
