Peter McQueen

Peter McQueen

Peter McQueen (c. 1780 – 1820) was the son of a Scottish trader and a Creek woman. He was known for playing a set of bagpipes during each battle that he fought. During the Creek War of 1813-1814, McQueen led a group of Tallassees in the Red Stick faction of the Upper Creeks. He commanded forces at the Battle of Burnt Corn and the Fort Mims Massacre.

After the Red Sticks were defeated at Horseshoe Bend, McQueen, along with other Red Stick warriors, retreated into Florida and continued to fight during the First Seminole War.
