Horseshoe Bend. Later life In the Treaty of Fort Jackson which ended the war, the Creek chiefs recognized not only Mayfield's bravery, but also his integrity in his dealings with them during negotiations. As a result, they stipulated that he be granted of the land they forfeited. The U.S. government, however, refused to allow this, which forced Mayfield to petition Congress for the grant. Congress finally complied; however the grant was never enforced by the government. Mayfield died in 1848.
