ocmulgee old fields

this was the heart of the creek nation and the chief who signed it away at the indian springs in 1825 paid for that act of treachery with his life --- interstate 16 was run between the mounds and the river and, if the macon business community had its way, the so-called "fall-line freeway" would bisect the national monument that preserves what is left of the site ---that won't happen
