Soft cover. Zustand: New. Texas Cherokees, 1820 - 1839, with A document for Litigation, 1921, submitted by George W. Fields, Lawyer, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Even though the Trail of Tears was approximately seventeen years away, the Eastern Cherokee were feeling the pressure of white settlers and an American government wanting them out of their way in the east. A large following of Cherokee led by Chief Richard Fields and Chief Bowles migrated to Texas in 1819 after a short stopover in Arkansas. The Cherokee eventually established a settlement near present-day Nacogdoches, Texas. The Cherokee first petitioned the Spanish government for permanent residence and then following their war for independence the newly minted Mexican government. Similarly they'd eventually make the same request with the independent Republic of Texas and then again with the State of Texas. [J-B1421] Jeff Bowen.
