Ohatchee

Ohatchee lies near the Coosa River and the place once known as Ten Islands. During the Creek War, Andrew Jackson's troops built Fort Strother there in 1813 as a base for their campaign against the Red Sticks. From the fort, General John Coffee led a force against the nearby Creek town of Tallushatchee, which was surrounded and attacked on 3 November. Jackson's army set out again days later to relieve the besieged town of Talladega.
