Jean-Antoine Le Clerc, also known as Louis Milfort, also spelled as Milford (February 2, 1752-1817/1820) was a French military officer and adventurer who led Creek Indian warriors during the American Revolutionary War as allies of the British. He emigrated to the British Colonies in North America in 1775. Beginning in 1776, he lived with the Creek Indians of the Upper Towns for about 20 years in frontier territory of present-day Alabama. He became a member of the Creek Confederacy, and eventually rose to Grand War Chief, commander of all Creek forces.
Milford's Memoirs "has provided us with a tale that reflects an intimate knowledge of the Indians, their way of life and their manner of carrying on warfare as well as their relations with the English, American, French and Spaniards who were competing for the trade with the natives over whose territory they were trying to gain control,"
