United States, Southern States, 33.346678, -84.119434Park, John G.1829-11-02John G. Park writes to Georgia Governor George R. Gilmer (1829-1831) on November 2, 1829 to report on conversations he had with Mr. Wofford, a resident of the Cherokee Nation, concerning the disputed boundary line between the Creek and Cherokee Nations. Wofford advises Park that many Cherokees can attest to the fact that the boundary line contended for is the original and true boundary between the nations, and some of those Cherokees will be among the group soon to be assembled at the Cherokee Agency for emigration to Arkansas. Since these people will be under the protection of the American government while at the agency, Wofford suggests that they will be more inclined to speak about the boundary. Wofford further recommends that a local man named Charles Gates be chosen as an agent to the Cherokees since he has more influence over them than any other man in the state. Park also mentions that the Cherokee Council is in session and that several Creeks are in attendance.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc513engMode 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, Telamon Cuyler, box 49, folder 06, document 01.Cherokee NationCreek NationBoundariesCherokee Indians--Relocation[Letter] 1829 Nov. 2, Lawrenceville, [Georgia to] George R.
