Delawares, eonflra this ancient location. Eventually the Cherokees were outnumbered and driven southward by the combined forces of the Belawarea and the Iroquois. They then spread over the Southern Appalachian region, most of which they held at the time of the coming of the t*.ites. They were the mountaineers of the South. ffeg ethnologist James Mooney, who is by far our best authority on the language, legends and history of the Cherokees, says that their original nucleus in the South seems to have been the village of Kituwha, which extended from Governor's Island to well within the present limits of Brysoa City. Kituwha is r.iintioned as on® of the "oeven mother towns" of the tribe in a document of the year 1720, It also appears in t South Carolina act of 1755 regulating the Indian trade. It was evidently one of the Cherokee towns destroyed by Rutherford*a expedition in 1776, and it was not rebuilt. The Inhabitants ..of Kituwha torn were called Anl-Kituwhagl (pronounced Ah-nee Ki~too»
