It is recommended that the user of this product perform his/her Own research to further increase the knowledge of a site. We strongly recommend that permission of the owner of any site be obtained prior to a search. FEDERAL LAWS In addition to the ARPA Laws, an additional Federal law called "Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987" is in effect and is being enforced. This law gives the individual States control over historic shipwrecks lying within 3 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and 10 miles off of the Gulf Coast. DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS NOTE: All distance measurements for sites are direct from point A to point B and are NOT road measurements. Distance measurements are taken from the center of one point to the center of the center of the other. Linear measurements are usually accurate to one tenth mile (1/1 oth mile) while Latitude and Longitude coordinates are accurate to one thousandth of one minute, which equates to approximately 30 feet, depending on the accuracy of your GPS. WHAT IS A GHOST TOWN? There have been many inquiries as to how we have determined what establishes the parameters for ghost town status. While the dictionary definition is not satisfactory for our usage, Mosquito Publishing has used the following: That a town or settlement was at one time a thriving and viable community. That it subsequently declined to the point that it was virtually abandoned or deserted. It was a rule of thumb that communities were established on good land. That being the case, even though the original town may have declined to ghost town status, as modern communities expand, they often cover the site of the previous settlement. This occurrence is happening more rapidly as our population expands. The site would still be considered as a ghost town site, even if covered by modern construction and no visible signs of the original town exists.

    Genealogy Research in Georgia Early Native Americans in Georgia Native inhabitants of the area that is now Georgia included: *The Apalachee Indians *The Cherokee Indians *The Hitchiti, Oconee and Miccosukee Indians *The Muskogee Creek Indians *The Timucua Indians *The Yamasee and Guale Indians In the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, most of these tribes were forced to cede their land to the U.S. government. The members of the tribes were “removed” to federal reservations in the western U.S. In the late 1830’s, remaining members of the Cherokee tribes were forced to move to Oklahoma in what has become known as the “Trail of Tears.” Read more information about Native Americans of Georgia: http://www.native-languages.org/georgia.htm http://www.ourgeorgiahistory.com/indians/ http://www.aboutnorthgeorgia.com/ang/American_Indians_of_Georgia Some native people remained in hiding in Georgia.

  • The Politics of Place: the Role of Regionalism in Mid-Eighteenth Century Anglo-Cherokee Diplomacy
    THE POLITICS OF PLACE: THE ROLE OF REGIONALISM IN MID-EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ANGLO-CHEROKEE DIPLOMACY A thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Western Carolina University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Stephen Matthew Scheflow Director: Dr. Andrew Denson Associate Professor of History History Department Committee Members: Dr. Honor Sachs, History Dr. Robert Ferguson, History November 20 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis has taken a considerable amount of time and energy to complete over the past few years and many thanks are in order. I would first like to thank those who believed that I had what it takes to pursue a master’s degree in history. I first learned about writing history in Dr. William Reger’s historiography class at Illinois State University. Dr. Reger’s courses always seemed to have disproportionately high expectations and page lengths for assignments. I owe him thanks for making semester projects seem less daunting after having completed several in the many courses I took with Dr. Reger. Secondly, I’d like to thank Dr. Alan Lessoff. Dr. Lessoff supervised my undergraduate capstone and always pushed me to produce the best work possible. Without Dr. Lessoff’s encouragement, I might not have chosen to pursue a graduate degree. Next, I would like to thank the faculty of Western Carolina University’s history department. From my early excursions into applying for graduate schools, Dr. Elizabeth McRae always made Cullowhee feel like the best destination. I want to thank her for all her work in helping me choose WCU, as well as the continued help throughout my time at WCU.

Hearths in caves have been dated to 23,000 B.C. at sites on the coast of Venezuela. Native people say they have always been here. The Cherokee people say that the first man and first woman, Kanati and Selu, lived at Shining Rock, near present-day Waynesville, N.C. The old people also say that the first Cherokee village was Kituwah, located around the Kituwah Mound, which was purchased in 1997 by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to become once again part of tribal lands. 10,000 BC-8,000 BC Paleo-Indian Period: People were present in North Carolina throughout this period, making seasonal rounds for hunting and gathering. Continuous occupation from 12,000 BC has been documented at Williams Island near Chattanooga, Tennessee and at some Cherokee town sites in North Carolina, including Kituhwa and Ravensford.
