The 'old Chikkasah, or American-Flanders path,' as Adair named it,108 was a continuation of the Upper Path extending northwestward for about two hundred miles beyond the Abihka country. [Note 108: Adair, History of the American Indians, p. 239.] It ran through 'Rich Oak and Hickery Land mixt with Pleasant Savanas'109 near the head of the Tuscaloosa; it skirted the southern foothills of the Appalachians where they merge into the Alabama plains. [Note 109: C.O. Maps, N.A.C. General, 7.] On the upper branches of the Tombigbee was the small but warlike tribe of Chickasaw, six villages, 700 men, by English account in 1715, but in the next few decades they were wasted by their wars with the French and the Choctaw. 110 [Note 110: C.O. 5 :1265, Q 201.
