Manuscripts

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.
