[Hurricane Rita] Abbeville, LA October 25, 2005 -- A Crypt rests against the chain link fence it distored when Hurricane Rita's storm surge washed it from its shallow grave at Banckor Cemetary. Many crypts lost their headstones, requiring FEMA and the State of Louisiana to ship their coffins to the morgue where pathologists try to identify the bodies. Photo by Greg Henshall / FEMA

ckade and blockhouse built, and the placere-christened Fort Jackson. It was, a few months later, thescene of the surrender of the brave Weatherford, whom thegeneral could hardly protect from the infuriated Americans.The two men lived to be afterwards strong personal friends. Jackson marched his troops back to Tennessee, but, beingpromoted to the rank of major-general and to command of thesouthern army, he was again at Fort Jackson on August 9 toconclude a treaty of peace with the defeated Creeks. By thisall their country was surrendered to the United States exceptthe part east of the Coosa River and of a line drawn southeast-wardly from Fort Jackson.

Thesites of Forts Tombecbe and Toulouse were no longer isolated,^ 2 Monettes Valley of the Mississippi, p. 421.
