Dickens, Jr. 35 THE ROUTE OF RUTHERFORD'S EXPEDITION AGAINST THE NORTH CAROLINA CHEROKEES by RoY S. DICKENS, JR. INTRODUCTION In September of 1776 approximately twenty-five hundred North Carolina militia, commanded by General Griffith Ruther­ ford, marched against the Middle and Valley Towns of the Cherokee Indians. Sketches of this expedition can be found in a number of nineteenth and twentieth-century histories, but for the most part these descriptions lack detail and are often based on misinformation. By giving special attention to a few original documents, by utilizing archaeological findings, and simply by taking a common sense look at the terrain, the author attempts in this paper to provide a more accurate delineation of the route of Rutherford's march. Particular attention is given to the locations of Indian towns mentioned in the chronicles.

  • Ghosts of Cultivation Past - Native American Dispersal Legacy Persists in Tree Distribution
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Ghosts of Cultivation Past - Native American Dispersal Legacy Persists in Tree Distribution Robert J. Warren, II* Department of Biology, SUNY Buffalo State, 1300 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14222, United States of America * [email protected] Abstract A long-term assumption in ecology is that species distributions correspond with their niche requirements, but evidence that species can persist in unsuitable habitat for centuries undermines the link between species and habitat. Moreover, species may be more depen- dent on mutualist partners than specific habitats. Most evidence connecting indigenous cul- tures with plant dispersal is anecdotal, but historical records suggest that Native Americans transported and cultivated many species, including Gleditsia triacanthos ("Honey locust"). OPEN ACCESS Gleditsia triacanthos was an important medicinal/culinary (e.g., sugar), cultural (e.g., game Citation: Warren RJ, II (2016) Ghosts of Cultivation sticks) and spiritual tree for the Cherokee (southeastern U.S. Native Americans).
