Needles Sees Cherokee Treaty Ratified. Land Office Plans Discussed
Col Thomas B Needles, Dawes commissioner, travels from Muskogee to St Louis amid forecasts of a Cherokee treaty ratification in Congress with Hitchcock amendments. He notes land offices may record allotment rolls, including freedmen, with work starting May in eastern Cherokee Nation and not reaching Vinita until September. Meanwhile Wagoner Sayings push Cherokees to vote against the treaty, as locals eye town lot sales ahead of allotment.
