This is in Alabama, just north of Tuskegee and no signs or markers are present but this area marks a significant cultural and historical event that occurred in 1804. According to research, Billy Powell, better known as Seminole leader Osceola, was born here. In a passage from Dr. Patricia Wickman's "Osceola's Legacy":
"Tom remembered the large cedar tree which had shaded the place... he had moved five small branches to his own property. He recalled, furthermore, that 'the railroad from Montgomery to West Point runs within five feet, if not over the place, where the cabin stood in which Billy Powell, or Ussa Yaholo, was born." — at Osceola's Birthplace.
