Re: Cherokees are coming

Too bad they don't have enough time to ride to Gassaway for a good ole bologna/cheese sandwich.
What time are you coming through the Boro on Wed.?
Have a safe ride.

Re: Cherokees are coming

The Cherokees used me as their guide through Cannon County. As we entered Murfreesboro the Chief came to the front and brought us down East Main to the Courthouse. We arrived at 10:45. The Chief had an appointment with Sen. Ketron. Some of the young braves enjoyed watching me draw on two currs that came out on us at the Porterfield Road intersection. They are on the way to meet with the Governor at 2:30. I offered to take them on to Hermitage, but they said they did NOT desire to see Andy Jackson dead or alive. I wish them well on the remainder of the journey.

Re: Cherokees came and went

....so they weren't "hostiles" after all?

Re: Cherokees came and went

They were not hostiles; they were Confederates. See the story and photograph at cannonwire.com.
