Notes for Efau Haujo, "Mad Dog," A Creek Indian Chief:
      After the death of Alexander McGillivray in 1793, continuation of the Creek Nation to a large measure went to Mad Dog, "Fahiko" of Tuckabatche, also known as Efa Hadjo who though friendly to the Americans was a violent enemy of the Chickasaw Indians and perpetrated a two year war upon them in the early 19th century. Louis Milfort, a French trader who had unsuccessfully sought the mantle of leadership won by Mad Dog, once called the chief "a thorough-going rascal." Mad Dog remained chief of the Upper Creeks until 1802, when he abdicated to his advance age.
      It would be an interesting fact, if it could be proven, that the Effa Adio who signed the treaty made by the English and Creeks in June, 1765, at Pensacola, was the same man as Efa Hadjo, who was in after times so long the speaker of the Creek Nation. Be the fact as it may, the first notice of Efa Hadjo or Mad Dog in April 1792, shows him a partisan of the adventurer William Augustus Bowles. Many of the ignorant Creeks at that time supposed that Bowles represented the English government, and that England, France and Spain were opposed to the Americans. A year later, however, in April, 1793 found Efa Hadjo a decided friend of the Americans. Alexander Cornell in a letter to James Seagrove, the Creek agent, in April, 1793, writes: "If every man should exert himself as well as the Mad Dog, and the headmen of the Upper towns, and Mr. Weatherford, we should have an everlasting peace with our brothers of the United States."
      Creek Indian Agent Benjamin Hawkins presence and sincereity had great impact on the Creek Indians. They admired him deeply and became accustomed to his living among them whether it was when Hawkins visited Timothy Barnard's on Flint River, or at Coweta on the Chattahoochee, the principal Lower Creek town, or at Tuckabatchee on the Tallapoosa River, among the Upper Creeks, near Alex Cornell's place. At the Creek National Council of 1799, notable progress was evidenced when the dignified Efau Haujo, (Mad Dog), then Speaker of the Creek Nation, and described by detractors as "a very turbulent fellow" because of his vehemence in opposing frontier intruders and dishonest traders, agreed to Hawkin's request that the chiefs try to stop their youth from stealing horses and punish those who did by severe beating. He told Hawkins, "It is for the good of our land, you have often wished it. You have a regard for our land and wish to see us in peace and quietness."
      From the lack of records, it cannot be stated when Efa Hadjo became the speaker of the Creek Nation. He did not hold this office at the treaty of Coleraine in June, 1796, though he was one of the signers of the treaty. Fusatchee Mico, the Whitebird King of the Hickory Ground, was the speaker at Coleraine. Efa Hadjo was the speaker of the Creek Nation at the treaty of Fort Wilkinson in 1802. He also at the same time was speaker of the Upper Creeks, with Coweta Micco, as speaker of the Lower Creeks. His several talks at this treaty were all sensible and relevant to the subjects under consideration. Twelve days after the treaty Efa Hadjo abdicated his station as speaker and first chief of the nation to Hopoie Micco an~ transferred the seat of the National Councils from Tuckabatchee to the Hickory Ground. He was at this time, as he stated, "getting in age." The action of Efa Hadjo was either of short duration or was not accepted by the Nation, as can be seen from Colonel Hawkins' notice of the chief in 1799.
      "This (Tuckabatchee) is the residence of Efan Hanjo, one of the great medal chiefs, the speaker of the Nation at the National Council. He is one of the best informed men of the land, and faithful to his National engagements; He has five black slaves, and a stock of cattle and horses; but they are of little use to him; the ancient habits instilled in him by French and British agents, that red chiefs are to live on presents from their white friends, is so riveted that he claims it as a tribute due to him, and one that never must be dispensed with."

      Efa Hadjo died in Tuckabatchee in 1812.

 "How Ishenpoaphe and Mad Dog were related through their Tiger clan is unknown, for Mad Dog was Micco or Chief of the Cussitas and chiefdom in the Cussitas was hereditary from the Bear clan. Perhaps Mad Dog's wife was of theTiger clan, thereby making Mad Dog a brother-in-law of Ishenpoaphe. Both Mad Dog of Tuckabatchee who was chief of the Cussitas, and Mortar who had been "King" of the Okchais were kinsmen from their Bear Clan."

"The Creeks were requested the make further land cessions to the United States. On May 24, 1802, the Creeks held held a council meeting on the banks of the Oconee River near fort Wilkinson. Benjamin Hawkins had appointed an "artificial government" to oversee the actions of law and order which existed within the nation. Mad Dog, the father of Far Off Warrior served as spokesman for this council. During this council meeting the fires of the Creek Indian wars were ignited. General James Wilkinson, serving as negotiator for the United States, made charges of murder and depredation. A land cession was demanded as an indemnity. The Creeks also presented their own list of charges, stating those settlers who lived along the Cumberland River were destroying their game. Georgians who had settled along the Okmulgee River were cutting down cedar trees along the stream. A new white frontier was being developed along Tombigbee and Alabama rivers. The Creeks were being hemmed in by white settlements and their enemy, the Choctaw, resided on the Western border of Creek territory. It was apparent that since the Treaty of Colerain the Creeks had suffered several encroachments by White settlers.      Still, there were several chiefs who were intent on keeping the peace with the Whites for various reasons. Far Off Warrior was one of these peace chiefs. No one would perceive the great catastrophe that would erupt from the Creek Indian Wars of 1813-1814. The fires had been ignited by the Shawnee Warrior Tecumseh whose mother was a Creek Indian. Tecumseh came to the country to preach to his Creek Indian "brothers" about the evils of following the White path. One of his converts was Menewa, the second chief of the Okfuskee towns. The Creeks were stirred by the magic and power of this Shawnee. He had danced the "Dance of the Lakes" and as he danced a used his magical "Red Stick" to point out the directions of the White enemy. From the converts who watched Tecumseh and listened to his words against the White settlers, emerged a hostile faction of Creeks known as "Red Sticks." 
      Those who remained friendly towards the United States were branded by the Red Sticks as traitors. The hostiles began to kill leaders of the peaceful side and made threats to kill Big Warrior and his brother-in-law Tustennugee Hopoie, the Far Off Warrior. Mad Dog was not able to stop the disaster for he had died a year earlier in 1812. 
      Following the Creek Indian wars of 1812-14, Big Warrior was head chief of the Upper Creek Indian villages, but the Far Off Warrior, then known by the name of "Little Prince," served as speaker for the entire Creek Indian nation. Broken Arrow, as the speaker's residence, had succeeded Tuckabatchee as the council meeting place. The Creeks who had been staunch enemies of the Cherokees now took their native brothers by the hand. They were both fighting to preserve their rights, the heritage, against white intrusion. In May 1824, Creeks and a Cherokee declaration made up of John Ridge and David Vann met at Tuckabatchee village to draw up a set of constitutional laws for the nation. In their reflections upon the past greatness of the Confederacy, Creeks were set on establishing grounds of support based on agriculture and civilization. The past ways could not be forgotten. Their declaration read as follows: 

      "...On a deep and solemn reflection, we have, with one voice, decided to follow the pattern of the Cherokees, and on no account whatever will we consent to sell one foot of our land, neither by exchange or otherwise. This talk is not only to last during the life of the present chiefs, but to their descendants after them..." 
      In 1827, Little Prince signed the treaty that would eventually lead to the Creek Indian removal some ten years later. He continued to be the head chief of the nation and speaker of the lower towns until his death in 1832. His grave is yet pointed out on Broken Arrow creek.  "
