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.

  • The Number Was Found to Be 489 … I Have Issued a Sufficient Quantity of Cotton Domestic to the Indians for Tents to Protect T
    Trail of Tears National Historic Trail Trail of Tears Association Westville and the Trail of Tears National Park Service The End of the Journey Between June 1838 and March 1839, more than 15,000 Cherokees trekked west from their traditional eastern homeland to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) over the “Trail of Tears.” More than 1,000 died during the journey westward, and there may have been as many as 4,000 that died as a direct result of their forced migration. Once they arrived in their new homeland, Cherokee detachments disbanded at one of eight disbandment sites, the most popular being sites near present-day Jay, Westville, and Stilwell. In accordance with the 1835 Treaty of New Echota, the new arrivals were promised one year of subsistence provisions, to be distributed at one of several depots in the Cherokee Nation. That year proved exceedingly trying, however. The delivery of provisions proved halting, and most Cherokees spent the year 1839 living in tents and other temporary quarters while awaiting their first year’s harvest. The number was found to be 489 … I have issued a sufficient quantity of cotton domestic to the Indians for Tents to protect them from the weather … as they were for the most part separated from their homes in Georgia, without having the means or time to prepare … Lt.

  • Story of OK Baptists by LW Marks
    THE STORY OF OKLAHOMA BAPTISTS By L. W. Marks LW Marks was the first Historical Secretary of the BGCO in 1906. This work of his was unpublished but contains great insight into OK Baptist History. Reproduced with permission by the Oklahoma Baptist Historical Commission The goal of the Historical Commission of Oklahoma Baptists is both to preserve our history and aid churches in realizing the historical significance of their work in evangelism and missions. and to encourage them to continue their faithful service. Learn more about the Historical Commission and it’s work at https://www.bgco.org/about/historical-commission-ministries FOREWORD He who judges Oklahoma by any other known state will find his calculations going wrong. Her physical features, her political history, her population, her business methods and her spirit are unique. He who tells the true story of Oklahoma must shed the forms that held him in other states and prepare to move in new land and breathe another atmosphere under a different sky. The very uniqueness of Oklahoma has caused it to be, perhaps the most misunderstood of any state in the Union, sometimes overrated, more often underrated. It has enjoyed, or suffered, as per view-point, extensive advertisement. In such advertisements, its unique and striking features have received the emphasis. The emphasis has created the false impressions that abound concerning this state. Under the name “Oklahoma”, we include all of the territory covered by the present state of Oklahoma, and all of the time since this land came within the knowledge of the Anglo- Saxon race.

  • Hair Conrad Cabin 433 Blythewood Road SW Cleveland, Tennessee
    Hair Conrad cabin 433 Blythewood Road SW Cleveland, Tennessee Text by Sarah Jackson Martin and Carroll Van West 2006 The one-and-one-half story cabin sits on a wooded hillside facing west overlooking Blythewood Road on land now known as Blythewood Farms. The cabin was built by a wealthy Cherokee, Hair Conrad, circa 1804 and represents the blending of Native American and European influences. Although a circa 1930 kitchen was added, the property retains its historic integrity both in its construction and setting. The (20’ x 22’) single-pen log cabin rests on a dry-laid stone pier foundation, as does the façade porch. The circa 1930s kitchen addition is on a stone masonry foundation. The west facade features a full shed porch supported by four round posts with centrally positioned stone steps. There is a single central entrance flanked by two one-over-one double hung windows, which have been enlarged to accommodate manufactured casings. The walls are made of hewn poplar logs 12-18 inches wide and six inches thick, and are joined at the corners with half-dovetail notching. None of the original chinking and daubing material is evident. The side-gable tin roof is framed and historically would have been wood shingle. The south elevation features a large limestone chimney not original to the house. The present owners replaced the chimney circa 1930; the overall width was maintained. Two windows on the main level flank the chimney: a large two-over-two window on the upper level. The circa 1930 balloon-frame kitchen addition extends along the entire rear (east) elevation.
