The Red Eagle - A Poem of the South #227784

In the Introduction, which Meek himself wrote, and which precedes the poem, William Weatherford, the Creek War Leader, known as Red Eagle, is given sufficient description to stimulate the interest of all who have a regard for the dramatic and striking story of the pioneer period in Alabama. To it can only be added the evidence of some writers, after Meek, who knew Weatherford and who bore witness to the innate strength of his character. Weatherford was by far the most noted of Southern war leaders.
