Letter , 1823 Apr. 25, Near Fortville, Cherokee Nation


Book Description

Letter dated April 25, 1823 from the Cherokee Council to (U.S. Commissioners Duncan G. Campbell and James Meriwether?) in response to a communication from these commissioners. The Council considers the commissioners' plea to repeal a resolution which disallows further land cession so that the commissioners can meet with the Council in Taloney and proceed with further negotiations. The Council responds in the negative, stating that the resolution was made to promote the interest and happiness of the Cherokee people and that no meeting will take place in Taloney because the seat of government is in New Town. A lengthy extract from the commissioners' letter follows which sets out arguments for the Cherokees to agree to further land cessions and remove west.

The following monograph on the history of the Cherokees, with its accompanying maps, is given as an illustration of the character of the work in its treatment of each of the Indian tribes.
