BLACKSHEAR TRAIL

Blackshear Trail, made by General David Blackshear during the War of
1812, was used by General Andrew Jackson when he led his
troops from Fort Hawkins, now Macon, through Hartford,
now Hawkinsville, to Fort Early in 1818. The section was roadless
except for this and a few Indian trails. General Jackson
used it in his campaign against the Seminole and Creek Indians.

The Battle of Skin Cypress Pond was fought on the Blackshear Trail.
During the battle three U.S. soldiers and a number of Indians
were killed. They were buried at the site of the battle in
unmarked graves.
