Excerpt from My AutobiographyThose who do not live in historic times are recompensed by knowing, hearing, or reading those who were actors in pioneer davs. When we read of the Cherokees in North Georgia and of their removal by the F ederal government to the distant West, we are in a sort of historical haze, where it is easy to confuse that tragic event with other incidents of a remo-ter past. Indeed, memory must take an aeroplane ¿ight to visual ize occurrences that stirred Georgia and other parts of the Union as far back as 1835, more than fourscore years ago.Yet when the Cherokees migrated, the author of this auto biography was a boy in his teens. He was alert and o-pen-eyed to the quick-moving scenes of the human drama whose actors were hardy pioneers, soldiers of State and nation, and the red men unwilling to leave the fertile and beautiful territory where their forefathers had hunted the deer in primeval forests and speared the trout in limpid mountain streams.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
