  • HISTORY of CHEROKEE COUNTY, ALABAMA Part 1 in 1836 They Saw Halley's Comet, Texans Fighting Santa Ana at the Alamo, the First C
    HISTORY OF CHEROKEE COUNTY, ALABAMA part 1 In 1836 they saw Halley's Comet, Texans fighting Santa Ana at the Alamo, the first Colt revolver, and the invention of the phosphorous match. Andrew Jackson was President. The Alabama state capitol was in Tuscaloosa, and ... on January 9, 1836 Cherokee County, Alabama was created by the state legislature. THE EARLY INHABITANTS The Cherokee Indians inhabited an area which included what is now north Alabama, north Georgia, a large part of Tennessee and eastern North Carolina. In Cherokee County, Alabama, at a city on the Coosa River (near the present day city of Cedar Bluff), DeSoto first met with the Cherokees in 1540. He camped at McCoy's Island for 30 days, and fought a skirmish with indians at Seven Springs. Many believe a site in Cherokee County was the site of the legendary Cherokee Indian town of Coosa. In 1816, in Turkey Town, Andrew Jackson met with representatives of the Cherokee, Creek and Chickasaw nations to settle the peace ratify a treaty to establish territorial boundaries. Among early Cherokee visitors to this area were Major Ridge, John Ridge, Elias Boudinot, John Ross, Double Head, Tarkagee, and Pathkiller. Pathkiller operated a ferry on the Coosa River near present day Centre, Alabama. The Cherokees had, in the first three decades of the 19th century, become a strong agrarian society, cultivating land, raising grain and livestock. They had built homes and schools. They fought with Andrew Jackson at Horseshoe Bend against the Creeks in 1814, and had established themselves as valuable allies to the white settlers.

Frequently I walked the very grounds over which Ross had strolled more than a century before. Yet no interest in Ross or Cherokee history was sparked in me. Several years later, Ross as a major research topic was suggested in a graduate seminar. I soon discovered that Ross had no adequate biography and, in fact, that a great deal of his life remained a mystery, especially his private and family life and his personal finances. Indeed, even large questions in his political career remained untreated, disputed, or unanswered.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing these acknowledgements is an enjoyable, yet intimidating task. Enjoyable, because there are many people who have helped me throughout this journey, and I am thrilled to be able to thank them publicly at long last. Intimidating, because I know that whatever I write, it will not be sufficient to express the depths of gratitude I feel for the new perspectives I have gained through their patient mentoring, support, and fine examples. It seems to me, as I’m sure it does to others, that this dissertation took a long time to complete, but this is a complicated story with many influences and viewpoints to consider. I couldn’t have finished any sooner without missing critical pieces of the story. One truism I learned through the process of this investigation is that once you awaken history from its slumber, it becomes a living, dynamic creature with a trajectory and mind of its own.

Where are your women?—Cherokee leader Attakullakulla questioning why no Euro-American women were sent by Great Britain to negotiate in 1759.1 No person shall be eligible to a seat in the General Council, but a free Cherokee male citizen, who shall have attained to the age of twenty-five years.—The Cherokee Constitution in 1827 2 I. INTRODUCTION A hallmark of modern western society is its belief in human rights and in equality of all people regardless of race, religion, and gender. Even while the battle rages for the civil rights of gay and lesbian couples, Western states exert pressure on other nations to liberalize their policies.3 While beliefs on the equality of women are now commonplace in the United States, many feminists would point out that women have only had the right to vote since 1920.4 Many might assume that because the United States was a pioneer of women’s suffrage, it was at the forefront of women’s civil liberties before 1920.5 One might assume this particularly when comparing the rights of women in the United States to non-western cultures.6 A careful examination of the facts, however, shows that in some cases this schema does not hold true.7 1 Minutes of February 9, 1757, S.C.
