The Cherokees listed here are from various counties in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. It is apparent from the census that a large number of Cherokees, particularly women and children, died during the emigration. A note on the back of the census indicates that it describes reservations under the treaties of 1817 and 1819.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegwtp002engMode 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, William H.
