This hand-written manuscript is the story of a Cherokee war party's travels from Arkansas to the Tawakenoes (Three Canes) settlement along the Brazos River in east-central Texas. Their route, taken in 1827, went south to the Mexican border in order to pick up more warriors from the Texas bands of Cherokee. The narrative includes descriptions of other Cherokee tribes, the organization and rituals of the Cherokee nation, the natural landscape, and a few specific Cherokee warriors.
