Note 847 — Chapter VI

[In this separate shape this tract was a reprint with additions from the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1872. It has a “new map of the Cherokee nation” which it is claimed was drawn by the Indians about 1750, with the names put in by the English. A later map of the region about the Tennessee River above and below Fort Loudon appeared as “A draught of the Cherokee country on the west side of the 24 mountains, commonly called Over the hills, taken by Henry Timberlake, when he was in that country in March, 1762: likewise the names of the principal herdsmen of each town and what number of fighting men they send to war” [809 in all], which appeared in Timberlake’s Memoirs, 1765; and again in Jefferys’ General Topography of North America and West Indies, London, 1768. A copy of Timberlake with the map is in Harvard College library. The above fac-simile is from Harris’s Oglethorpe.—Ed.
