I Swear (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from I Swear

From the time of the treaty of Hopewell in 178 5, up to about the mid dle of the present century, the Cherokee Nation of Indians was one of the few tribes that never had been conquered by the United States; her chiefs carried on their little scheme of civilization in the northern portion of Georgia, the world unheeding, by the world forgot.

But as Georgia developed her resources, the pushing American settler began to scheme to obtain for himself the Indian lands. The first direct attack came when the Legislature of Georgia annulled the Indian laws, and attempted to extend the State's jurisdiction over the homes of the innocent and trusting Cherokees.
