Seminole War History and Cherokee Relations Recounted
A long historical piece recounts the Seminole War starting December 28 1835 with Chief Osceola and leaders Mekonopy Jumper Wild Cat and others, detailing massacres at Dade Fort King and Lake Okeechobee, and the struggle to emigrate to Arkansas amidst government deception and stubborn resistance. It also covers early Cherokee relations with the United States, treaties from 1785 and 1791, and a fraud case where traders Stewart and Scott swindled Cherokee money through whiskey and beaded goods.
