Located on the banks of the Tallapoosa River in present-day Macon County, Alabama, Autossee was one of the largest Red Stick towns. A village of at least two hundred houses, the town’s name literally meant “War
Club.” It was home to some of the most vocal Red Stick leaders, including High-Head Jim, and may have been the home of some of the warriors that attacked Fort Mims. Troops under the command of General John Floyd
destroyed the town during the battle on November 29, 1813.

The site of the town today lies on private property near Shorter, in northwestern Macon County, Alabama, and is unmarked and inaccessible to the public.
