0

The two rolls of this microfilm publication reproduce correspondence of the Eastern Division relating to the removal of the Cherokees from the states of Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama to present-day eastern Oklahoma. Most of the correspondence was received or sent by Bvt. Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott, commanding officer of the Eastern Division, and his immediate staff between April and December 1838. Also present are a few pieces of May 1836-March 1837 correspondence that predate Scott's arrival in Cherokee country. The records are part of Records of U.S. Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, Record Group (RG) 393.
