United States, Southern States, 33.346678, -84.119434Boudinot, Elias, d. 18391838This publication, presented before the United States Senate in 1838, is a set of letters and articles related to the Treaty of New Echota (1835), narrated by Elias Boudinot, the original editor of the Cherokee Phoenix. In resigning his post as editor of the Phoenix, Boudinot sets forth the basis for conflict between rival factions of Cherokee leadership -- the Treaty Party or Ridge Party and the Anti-Treaty Party or Ross Party. Boudinot, a member of the pro-treaty group, utilizes various documents to explain the motives of the removal treaty signers, and in so doing, he criticizes Principal Chief John Ross for misleading the Cherokee people by fostering their hopes in a lost cause. Boudinot includes letters and addresses by Ross and himself relative to strife amongst the parties and a failed attempt at resolution as well as correspondence between himself and the Chief.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2002, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegpam012engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, E99.C5 B7, box N/A, folder N/A, document N/A.Indians of North America--Government relationsCherokee Indians--TreatiesDocuments in relation to the validity of the Cherokee treaty of 1835 ... : letters and other papers relating to Cherokee affairs : being a reply to sundry publications authorized by John Ross / by E.
