Abner Turner’s Fort

Abner Turner’s Fort

Turner’s Fort was some eight miles south and five west, in the west bend of the Tombigbee River, near the residence of Abner Turner. This fort was built of split pine logs doubled and contained two or three block-houses. Two or three miles distant, on the river, was a Choctaw reservation known as Turkey Town, called by the Choctaws “Fakit Chipunta,” Little Turkeys.
