Sir Alexander Arrives and Demands Obedience of Cherokees
On March 23 Sir Alexander reaches Keeakwee the first Cherokee town and, armed with pistols and a sword, forces the 300 chiefs to kneel in submission. He dispatches envoys to gather leaders from all towns for a council at Nequaffie on April 3, as traders warn of rising Lower Cherokee unrest.
