NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Washington City, Dec. 1, 1838 Page two has an article: "The Cherokees" which includes in part: "...about 15,000 of the Indians of the Cherokee country have been removed and are at, or on their way to, their new homes in the west. Only about 300 remain...". This was part of the "Trail of Tears" movement, the relocation of Native Americans including Cherokee, Creek, Seminole & Choctaw nations from their homelands to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Estimates are that 4000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokees died on route.
Yet another page has: "Cherokees In North Carolina which takes over one-third of the page.
Sixteen pages, 8.25 by 12 inches, very minor foxing, nice condition.
