#OTD in 1847 – Choctaw Indians collect money to donate to starving Irish Hunger victims.

Moved by news of starvation in Ireland, a group of Choctaws gathered in Scullyville, Ok, to raise a relief fund. Despite their meager resources, they collected $170 and forwarded it to a U.S. famine relief organisation. The Choctaw Indians may have seen echoes of their own fate in that of the Irish. Just 16 years before, in 1831, the Choctaw Indians were forcibly removed from their ancestral…

Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory

In May 1830, the United States government, under Andrew Jackson's presidency, passed an act to systematically expel Native American communities from their homelands. Jackson's political agenda, known as the 'Indian Removal', stretched throughout the entire 1830s and beyond. Thousands of lives and millions of acres of indigenous lands were lost. In Unworthy Republic, Claudio Saunt reconstructs the three main voices during this controversial and violent time: white supporters of the expulsion (mostly Southerners), white opponents of it (mostly activists from the North), and the indigenous peoples themselves. Saunt's writing turns historical statistics and documents accessible to non-specialists. Although professors or more advanced scholars might be already knowledgeable about this topic, Unworthy Republic is an in-depth and essential read for students of American history.

Crowley's Ridge rises 250 feet above the surrounding territory and runs from southern Missouri into Northeast Arkansas for 200 some miles. It sits in the alluvial plain of an ancient channel of the Mississippi River. It bears the name of it's first permanent white settler, Benjamin Crowley, who came to the ridge in 1821, but only by way of a consequence of the infamous New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-1812. Crowley held a land grant for land further north in Missouri, for his service in the War of 1812, but upon arriving he found that the original plot was submerged by the earthquakes. Upon reaching the ridge, Crowley announced to his family, "This will be okay". The ridge, ranging between one and 12 miles in width, was a wild territory with bear, wolves and catamounts (mountain lions). It was also used as refuge by local Native American tribes when the Mississippi River flooded. The Quapaw tribe used it for an encampment during hunts, and Crowley did not interfere with their use of the ridge after his land grant was transferred to the ridge.

The first night that Crowley and his family stayed in their new log cabin, his favorite horse was severely mauled by a bear. This area was also where the Arkansas Wild Man was first seen and described for decades, often assumed to also be refugees from the New Madrid earthquakes, which numbered over 10,000 in 2 years. The assumption was that some residents fled the unnerving destruction and became feral. Later these tales have been assumed to be of a Bigfoot creature. Crowley's Ridge was also the scene of large numbers of Native Americans traversing west to Indian Territory, including the Trail of Tears. It is also the site of a number of hauntings.

Yesterday we hiked part of The Trail of Tears. This was a special hike for me being part Cherokee. We got off track to see Crockett Falls, then I decided to take another trail to get back on our original trail… which resulted in a 7 mile hike that was absolutely miserable for 12 year old Remington. All four of us were in bed early with aching legs, which is nothing in comparison to what the Native Americans felt averaging 10 miles a day after being forcibly removed from their homeland. On a positive note: we crossed a waterfall that we weren’t expecting and the dogs did such a great job! #hiking #trailoftears #nativeamerican #cherokee #history #davidcrockett #adventure #tennessee #lawrenceburg (at David Crockett State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkVTByrAYt/?utm_medium=tumblr
