Seaman Views Indian Territory as Great Business Field
Seaman of the Clark and Cherokee Central railroad calls the Indian Territory a vast field for commercial exploitation. He cites its resources, growing population, and favorable soil and climate as ideal for investors and settlers. He notes the Dawes commission work nearing completion and tribal relations ending, with lands in Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole nations opening for settlement. He predicts an immigration tide akin to the Oklahoma rush once treaties are accepted by Cherokees and Creeks.
