OF THE his treaty, never ap were not run, bees ■I'lciiu Male l'apers, Indian I notice to the Cherokee* re< secretary of war, instructs McKee. commissioners foi m Aff; cted David Campbell, for extending the line •ding to the treaty of n Nine Mile creek, to extend the line. And they we peared on the part of the India The whole extent of the line designated by this treaty, never appears t< have been run and marked. Some parts of it, were not run, because tin country through which it passer! was mountainous and uninhabitable. On the 7th October I7i»2 (I American State Papers, Indian Affairs, 630), (Governor Blount having given the notice to the Cherokees required by the treaty, under the directions of the secretary of war, instructed David Campbell, Charles MeClung and John McKee, commissioners for extending the line between the United States and the Cherokees, according to the treaty of Holston, to meet the next day, at Major Craig's, on Nine Mile creek, to extend the line. And they were instructed, in case the commissioners appeared on the part of the Indians, to run the line ; but if the Indians did not attend, they were required to examine where the ridge which divides the waters running into Little river from those running into the Tennessee, strikes the Holston ; and extend the line from thence to Clinch river; and again from the ridge to the Chilhowee mountain, paying strict regard to the treaty. In their report, the 80th November ensuing, the commissioners say, that " the commissioners on the part of the Cherokees did not attend; and we proceeded to examine with great attention for the ridge which divides the waters of the Tennessee from those of Little river, and tracing it, found it a plain leading ridge, and that it struck the Holston- at the mouth ; but, having heard it suggested, that the Indians had in contemplation, at the time the treaty was made, a ridge which they supposed would strike the Holston higher up, we did not content ourselves, but retraced the ridge, and examined well the south bank of the Holston, and the result was, that we were perfectly convinced, that the ridge which divides the waters of Tennessee and Little river, strikes the Holston at the mouth, and at no other part. We then proceeded to run, but not to mark, a line of experiment, from the point of the ridge, in a south east direction, to the Chilhowee mountain, distance seventeen and a half miles, and again from thence to the Clinch, in a north-west direction, distance nine miles, and *found that line, r ,, 17 continued to the south-east, would intersect the Tennessee, shortly L after it crossed the Chilhowee mountain, consequentv, take away all the Indian towns lying along the south side of the Tennessee. This showed the necessity of turning the direction more to the east and west; and it is our opinion, that a line extended from the point of the ridge aforesaid, south sixty degrees east, to Chilhowee mountain, again from the point, north si degrees west, will form the true line from Chilhowee mountain to Clin between the United States and the Cherokees, according to the treaty of- Holston. The more fully to elucidate this report, we present you with a map, which we believe is nearly correct, on which both the lines are laid down." This line left several white settlers within the Indian lands. In transmitting this report to the war department, Governor Blount remarks, " As the geography of the country generally cannot be known to you, there being no correct map of it, I think it necessary to inform you, that the country to the east or rather south-east of Chiihowee mountain, through whL'h the line reported upon, if continued beyond it, will pass, for fifty or sixty miles, is an entire bed, or ledge after ledge, of mountains, that is, until it intersects the line which is to be extended south from the north boundary of North Carolina, near which no settlements can be formed;

These copies of federal court records were collected by photographer, George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, photographer George Masa (1881-1933) was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 1931, Masa was named to the three-person nomenclature committee for the North Carolina Park Commission and had the responsibility for accurately naming the peaks, streams, and other features. No doubt, these records pertain to the Smokies region and the disposition of land that would eventually become the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
