Book excerpt: This letter of July 2, 1831 from Hugh Montgomery, an agent to the Cherokees, to George Gilmer, Governor of Georgia (1829-1831). Montgomery answers Gilmer's request for information on some Cherokees, including Walter Adair, Richard Taylor, and John Ross, who had sold their reservations under the Treaty of 1819. Montgomery provides information on the lineage of Ross, and several other Cherokee figures, describing their parentage and blood quantum. Montgomery complains that he cannot comment directly on any secret meetings that the Cherokee leaders might be holding regarding whether or not they plan to cooperate with the government's requests that they give up their land. He goes on to say that he is sure that the Cherokees are opposed to the idea of removal, or emigration, and that the only way to persuade them to leave is to pay them. Montgomery looks forward to the time when the Cherokee territory will be peopled by whites and rid of the "trouble of Indians."

He says that he arrived ten years ago to assist the United States in its policy to "civilize" and Christianize the Cherokees, and his only concern is the spiritual growth of the Cherokees and not political issues. He indicates that he cannot in good conscience take the oath of Georgia since it would imply that the state has jurisdiction over the Cherokee Nation.

Book excerpt: This document contains two letters dated February 28, 1831 and March 5, 1831 from Edward Lloyd Thomas to George R. Gilmer, Governor of Georgia (1829-1831, 1837-1839), regarding the running of a boundary line up to North Carolina. In the first letter, Thomas (on behalf of himself and Alexander McGill) reports that they have had no opposition from Indians in the area (probably Cherokees), and he says that both the Indians and the intermarried whites have been very helpful. He reports that Mr. (Daniel?) Sturges has abandoned his position, fearing the difficulty of surveying the mountainous terrain in his assigned division. Thomas reports some problems and shortcomings with the survey, including some incorrect measurements given to them by the Surveyor General. In the second letter, Thomas reports on further progress and states that he encountered a great deal of difficult mountainous terrain. He mentions Sturges's departure again and asks that Sturges's partner, Mr. Owens, be given the former's compensation.

Worcester defends himself against accusations made by the governor, contending that his goal is to stimulate the spiritual growth of the Cherokee people and not to revolt politically against the state. He explains why he cannot in good conscience take the oath of Georgia and describes his progress in translating Christian texts into Cherokee. Worcester is determined to remain with the Cherokee until he is forced to move. Elias Boudinot, editor of the Cherokee newspaper is mentioned.

This book was released on 1829 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John G. Park writes to Georgia Governor George R. Gilmer (1829-1831) on November 2, 1829 to report on conversations he had with Mr. Wofford, a resident of the Cherokee Nation, concerning the disputed boundary line between the Creek and Cherokee Nations. Wofford advises Park that many Cherokees can attest to the fact that the boundary line contended for is the original and true boundary between the nations, and some of those Cherokees will be among the group soon to be assembled at the Cherokee Agency for emigration to Arkansas. Since these people will be under the protection of the American government while at the agency, Wofford suggests that they will be more inclined to speak about the boundary. Wofford further recommends that a local man named Charles Gates be chosen as an agent to the Cherokees since he has more influence over them than any other man in the state. Park also mentions that the Cherokee Council is in session and that several Creeks are in attendance.

Book excerpt: This is a letter dated June 12, 1832 from General John Coffee in Etowah to Wilson Lumpkin, Governor of Georgia (1831-1835), regarding recent events in the Cherokee Nation. Coffee promises the governor an official report of the recent murder of an Indian, and he makes reference to affidavits forwarded by Major Jones. Coffee also complains of his small force being divided up to cover a large piece of territory, and he warns that he can prevent neither Indians nor white men from violating the law and digging for gold in the area. He notes that two white men had been arrested the week before for that offense and some people running mills along the Chestatee River have been cutting away too much timber, rendering the land on the west bank of little or no value. He ends the letter by saying that he has learned that the prospect of signing a treaty with the Cherokees has worsened and refers to a Cherokee delegation returning from Washington, D.C.

He says that Major Hugh Montgomery reported to him that John Ridge, upon his return home, said that there was no alternative left for the Cherokees except to treat with the United States. Coffee also reports on a meeting with some Cherokee Chiefs, including Going Snake, Thomas Foreman, and John Walker, the latter of whom was opposed by the other chiefs but garnered the most support from the people who attended the meeting. Coffee says that he himself had been told that the Indians would be willing to treat in return for land reserves in the state. He closes the letter by recounting the Surveyors' complaints that the Indians were defacing their markers, and he promises to send a detachment the following week to cause them to desist.

Georgia, 1832) and says that he regrets it as he believes it will interfere with the process of removal. He also quotes from a letter from the Secretary of War, which says that the President objects to the surveying and settling of Cherokee territory by the state of Georgia. Coffee further states that he has sent a detachment to accompany over a hundred Cherokees to the agency in Etowah, and he makes brief mention of the arrest and trial of two Cherokee chiefs, Whitepath and Sunday, for collecting debts under Cherokee laws.
