Today in Chickamauga History - November 8

‍

1792, November 8: Letter to Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe - On November 3, 1792, both the [Philadelphia] National Gazette and the [Philadelphia] Gazette of the United States printed excerpts from an article that had appeared in the Knoxville Gazette concerning an attack on “John Buchanan’s station, four miles south of Nashville … by a party of Creeks and Lower Cherokees.” The newspaper article stated: “It is an undoubted Truth … that the Baron D’Corrondolet, governor of Louisiana … [has] opened the stores of the king of Spain, in West Florida, to the Creeks and Cherokees, and delivered them arms and ammunition in abundance, advising and stimulating them to go to war against the frontier inhabitants of the United States.… These are the fruits of the advice of the Baron D’Corrondolet … and it is due to Mr [William] Panton, their chief instrument, to add, he has well acted his part” (Knoxville Gazette, October 6–10, 1792).

Francisco Louis Hector, Baron de Carondelet, succeeded Esteban Miró as governor and intendant of Louisiana and West Florida on December 30, 1791. - https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-13-02-0026

1792, November 8:  Turmoil In The Southeast - Governor Blount reports on the tumultuous state of Indian affairs in the southeast. He believes the Creeks and Cherokees cannot be controlled by their chiefs and therefore seem likely to go to war. The Chickasaws and Choctaws seem disposed toward peace. - http://wardepartmentpapers.org/s/home/item/43791

‍

1794, November 8: Conference with Cherokee leadership - Colonel John Watts of a Lower Cherokee town (Will's town), and Scolacutta (aka, Hanging Maw), along with other Cherokee chiefs. Also present were 400 warriors and several citizens of the United States. Briefly discuss the illegal destruction by Major Ore of the friendly Lower Cherokee towns of Nickajack and Running Water, along with illegal aggression by General James Robertson. Blount condemns these actions and stresses repeatedly that he wants permanent, sustained peace with the Cherokee, which the Cherokee desire as well. Both Blount and the Cherokee chiefs discuss hostility by the unfriendly Creek Nation, along with the American alliance with the Chickasaw and Choctaw. - http://wardepartmentpapers.org/s/home/item/48562

‍

1794, November 8:  Treaty of Tellico Blockhouse with the CHICKAMAUGA (Lower Town Cherokee), ending the Cherokee part in the Indian Wars of the Old Southwest.

‍

1822, November 8:  Treaty of San Antonio de Bexar, granting land in the province of Tejas in Spanish Mexico upon which the Cherokee band of THE BOWL could live.  Though signed by the Spanish Governor of Tejas, the treaty was never ratified, neither by the Viceroyalty of New Spain, nor by the succeeding Mexican Empire nor the Republic of Mexico.
