The Cherokees were a lordly people—the largest, most important, most cultured, and proudest of all the tribes. One of their chiefs, Sequoyah, invented the alphabet which made Indian litera- ture possible. Junaluska and his braves fought with Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812 and saved the life of that General at the Battle of Horse- shoe Bend, But when Jackson became President of the United States he ordered the Cherokees removed to the Indian Territory. That was in 1838. The Cherokees were rounded up like cattle and driven westward, 4,000 of them dying on the road. A little handful of Cherokees in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina escaped. Their leader was Tsali and his sons; they were all murdered but their resistance enabled a few of their com- rades to hide in the mountains and elude the searching soldiers. Junaluska was one of the exiles of 1838. He was then an old man. He could find no peace in exile. His soul cried for the mountains of his fathers. The small band of refugees who remained in the Smokies had secured amnesty and Junaluska went back to them. There he lived and there he died. In 1847 the State honored him in a striking way. By special act of the Legislature he was made a citizen and given a sum of money and a tract of land in the Cheowa Indian settlement near Robbinsville. Here is peace and beauty typical of the Lake Junaluska environment He died in 1858. His grave is surrounded by a neat iron fence, and above the gate is the single word, Junaluska. His monument is a great stone in which is set a bronze tablet bearing this inscription: "Here lies the body of the Cherokee Chief, Junaluska, and Nicie, his wife. Together with his warriors he saved the life of General Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. And for his bravery and faithfulness, North Carolina made him a citizen and gave him land in Graham County. He died November 20, 1858, aged more than 100 years. This monu- ment was erected to his memory by the General Josephus Winston Chapter, D.A.R., 1910." The Cherokees still live in the Smokies. Their central village is Cherokee, at the eastern gate of the Great Smoky Mountains Na- tional Park, and travelers passing that way are attracted by the "trading posts" filled with souvenirs, the drab Indian farmers, and the more spectacular red men gaily arrayed in the traditional feathered headgear for the benefit of the tourist. Near Waynesville the highest mountain bears the name of their great chief, as does the shining lake that lies at its base. This is "The Land of the Sky," famed in song and story for beauty surpassing that of any similar phenomenon in eastern America. A dashing little river in "The Land of the Sky." The Great Smoky Mountains are here and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—visited by more people than any other in America. Here are the highest peaks east of the Rockies. Clingman's Dome towers 6,644 feet, Leconte 6,612 feet, and many others lift their heads above 6,000 feet. The Lake Junaluska Assembly itself lies 2,600 feet above the level of the sea, an altitude which gives a delightful temperature without humidity. This is the land of the pioneer, of Daniel Boone, and John Sevier, and Abra- ham Lincoln, and Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Johnson, and many like them. It produced the men who conguered the savage tribes, turned the tide of the Revolution at King's Mountain, and performed the most notable feats of per- sonal valor both in World War I and World War II. Yet Horace Kephart could not find in any library a scrap of information about it. "Had I been going to Teneriffe or Timbuctu," he wrote, "the libraries would have furnished information a-plenty; but about this housetop of eastern America they were strangely silent; it was terra incognito." It is terra incognito no longer. In normal times a guarter of a million people each summer seek the restful beauty of this paradise of places. Here is the home of the mountaineer, who, according to popular fancy, The Atkins Memo- rial House, home of the Superintendent of the Lake Juna- 1 u s k a Assembly. Formerly the home of Bishop James At- kins, one of the founders of the As- sembly; it was pre- sented to the insti- tution by Mrs James Atkins — speaks the tongue of Chaucer and Spenser and Shakespeare, lingers in the eighteenth century, and lives in a log cabin. He is "more English in speech than Britain itself, more American by blood than any other man in America." In his veins flows the purest Anglo- Saxon blood of the nation. His people are 100 per cent native born of native born parents. Here, too, is the natural wealth of America. It has been a land of coves and cabins, of poor land and primitive methods, of much food but little money, of sorry roads and isolation. Yet fabulous riches are in the Appalachian area. There is here "a greater variety of indigenous trees than could be found in a trip from Turkey to England or from the Atlantic to the Rockies." The hardwood forests elsewhere have been decreasing for forty years; the Appalachians contain seventy-five million acres of hardwood, half the country's supply, which yield more than three-fourths of the annual cut of the whole nation. The region has one-sixth of America's potential water power easily worth a hundred million dollars a year if harnessed and used. It produces one-fourth of our bituminous coal and employs one- fourth of the miners. The United States Geographical Survey de- clared that the southern Appalachians could supply the country's coal for 2,360 years. Appalachia has been backward, but it will be flourishing when other sections are effete. It is the home of the rhododendron, the azalea, the mountain laurel. In the spring millions upon millions of the gorgeous blos- soms cover the mountains with mantles of white or lavender or pink or flame. Persons have been known to weep as they glimpsed the vista from Newfound Gap or Clingman's Dome. The coves and dashing streams are easily accessible now. Mag- nificent highways that wind around and across the mountains have been built. Bridle trails, footpaths, and camping places have been provided. Still the improvements continue. They modify the unspoiled customs of the people, but they permit the outside world to enter, and they bring isolated communities in touch with the markets, the schools, and the general culture of the nation.

More than a thousand men met at Chattanooga in April, 1908, in the first general meeting of the Laymen's Missionary Move- ment of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and they adopted a resolu- tion of historic importance: RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this Conference that it would be well for the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, to have a great assembly ground on the order of Northfield, Massachusetts, for the gathering to- gether of our forces at stated times, and that such grounds be so lo- cated and so improved as to make them suitable for the various confer- At New Found Gap, "Brenner Pass" of eastern America Panorama over Lake Junaluska. ences of our Church when desirable to hold them there, and for Bible institutes and such other organizations for the help of the preachers and laymen and the general upbuilding of the Church and her forces as may- be decided upon in our onward movement for the evangelization of the world. RESOLVED, That a committee be appointed consisting of John R. Pepper, John P. Pettijohn, Gen. Julian S. Carr, B. M. Burgher, R. S. Schoolfield, R. B. Davenport, and A. D. Reynolds, with the request to take this matter in hand and to take such steps as they may think best with the approval of the Executive Committee. Various sites were considered for the location of the proposed assembly, and the decision was made in favor of a spot on Richland Creek about three miles east of Waynesville, North Carolina. It was stated that this spot "has in it the rarest combination of beauties and conveniences to be found in a similar compass anywhere," and that "the mountains which surround it are without that ruggedness which is forbidding, and rich in that beauty which so grace- fully glides into the sublime as to rejoice the timid child and inspire with the loftiest impulses the strongest man." It was also pointed out that "it is the most wholesome climate on earth" and "above the mosquito line!" The institution was called The Southern Assembly.

  • Junaluska, the Cherokee Who Saved Andrew Jackson's Life and Made Him a National Hero, Lived to Regret It
    Junaluska, the Cherokee who saved Andrew Jackson’s life and made him a national hero, lived to regret it. Born in the North Carolina mountains around 1776, he made his name and his fame among his own people in the War of 1812 when the mighty tribe of Creek Indians allied themselves with the British against the United States. At the start of the Creek War, Junaluska recruited some 800 Cherokee warriors to go to the aid of Andrew Jackson in northern Alabama. Joined by reinforcements from Tennessee, including more Cherokee, the Cherokee spent the early months of 1814 performing duties in the rear, while Jackson and his Tennessee militia moved like a scythe through the Creek towns. However, that March word came that the Creek Indians were massed behind fortifications at Horseshoe Bend. Jackson, with an army of 2,000 men, including 500 Cherokee led by Junaluska, set out for the Bend, 70 miles away. There, the Tallapoosa River made a bend that enclosed 100 acres in a narrow peninsula opening to the north. On the lower side was an island in the river. Across the neck of the peninsula the Creek had built a strong breastwork of logs and hidden dozens of canoes for use if retreat became necessary. Storming The Fort: The fort was defended by 1,000 warriors. There also were 300 women and children. As cannon fire bombarded the fort, the Cherokee crossed the river three miles below and surrounded the bend to block the Creek escape route. They took position where the Creek fort was separated from them by water.

  • John G. Burnett, “The Cherokee Removal Through the Eyes of a Private Soldier” December 11, 1890
    John G. Burnett, “The Cherokee Removal Through the Eyes of a Private Soldier” December 11, 1890 Annotation By President Andrew Jackson’s election in 1828, the only large concentrations of Indian tribes remaining on the east coast were located in the South. The Cherokee had adopted the settled way of life of the surrounding—and encroaching—white society. They were consequently known, along with the Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw, as one of the “Five Civilized Tribes.” “Civilization,” however, was not enough, and the Jackson administration forced most of these tribes west during the first half of the 1830s, clearing southern territory for the use of whites. Chief John Ross was the principal chief of the Cherokee in Georgia; in this 1836 letter addressed to “the Senate and House of Representatives,” Ross protested as fraudulent the Treaty of New Etocha that forced the Cherokee out of Georgia. In 1838, federal troops forcibly displaced the last of the Cherokee from their homes; their trip to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) is known as the “Trail of Tears.” In May 1838, federal militias started to round up Cherokees and move them into stockades (concentration camps) in several southern states. They were then forced to march 1,000 miles westward. 4,000 to 6,000 Cherokees died as a result of the removal. The journey became known as “the Trail of Tears” or “the Trail where They Cried.” Fifty years later, in 1890, Private John Burnett, who served in the mounted infantry, told his children his memories of the Trail of Tears, which he described as the “execution of the most brutal order in the History of American Warfare.” This is my birthday, December 11, 1890.
