Battle of Thomas Creek (original) (raw)
- The Battle of Thomas Creek, also known as the Thomas Creek Massacre, was an ambush of a small detachment of mounted Georgia Militia by a mixed force of British soldiers, Loyalist militia, and British-allied Indians on May 17, 1777 near the mouth of in northern East Florida. The encounter was the only major engagement in the second of three failed attempts by American forces to invade East Florida in the early years of the American Revolutionary War. The invasion attempt consisted of a naval flotilla carrying Continental Army troops and a company of militia cavalry traveling overland. The flotilla was delayed in reaching the rendezvous point, and British intelligence had learned of the expedition and located the cavalry. The British established an ambush, which broke up and scattered the cavalry, taking more than 30 prisoners. The Muscogee were reported to kill a number of the captives in cold blood afterward, in revenge for the death of a member of their own tribe in an earlier skirmish. Colonel Samuel Elbert, the invasion commander, abandoned the expedition when his flotilla was confronted by narrow channels and prepared British defenses. A 1778 expedition against East Florida failed due to leadership disagreements, although there was a skirmish at Alligator Bridge (en)
- ストーニーポイントの戦い(英: Battle of Thomas Creek、またはトマスクリーク虐殺、英: Thomas Creek Massacre)は、アメリカ独立戦争の1777年5月17日、東フロリダ北部、トマスクリークの河口近くで行われた小戦闘である。イギリス軍、ロイヤリスト民兵、およびインディアンの混成部隊が、ジョージア植民地から来た騎馬民兵の小部隊を待ち伏せした。ジョージア植民地は独立戦争の初期から3度東フロリダ侵略を試み、悉く失敗したが、この戦闘はその2回目の唯一主要なものとなった。 この侵略部隊は大陸軍部隊を運んだ海軍の戦隊と、陸路を進んだ騎馬民兵隊1個中隊で構成された。海軍戦隊は集合地点到着が遅れ、イギリス軍の諜報がこの遠征隊の動きを掴み、騎馬民兵隊の居場所を突き止めた。イギリス軍は待ち伏せを仕掛けて、騎馬民兵隊を打ち破って散り散りにさせ、30名以上を捕虜にした。イギリス軍と共にあったインディアンは、これ以前の小戦闘で仲間に一人を殺されており、その報復で捕虜の多くを冷血に殺害したとされている。 侵略部隊の指揮官サミュエル・エルバート大佐は、その戦隊を狭い海峡でイギリス軍が待ち構えているのを見て、遠征を中止した。1778年、ジョージア植民地は再度東フロリダ侵略に向かい、アリゲーターブリッジで小戦闘があったが、指導層の不和のために失敗した。 (ja)
