Journey Through Hollow Creek to Keeowee March Narrative
The account details a trek from Hollow Creek toward 96 Mile Swamp where William Gooper's horse is found, heavy rain overnight, and a day’s march of about 38 to 40 miles. William Cooper kills a buffalo and more near Marrowbone Creek as Cherokee tensions rise and Sir Alexander notes stones shining like gold. The party moves to Boggy Gully and Keeowee, with Lord Alexander negotiating Cherokee submission to King George and arranging messages to be sent ahead for a meeting at Nequasjee on April 3.
