For those unfamiliar with Nuttall, he was the US Surveyor for the Louisiana Purchase. This book is an edited and footnoted edition of his journal. Excellent book, it can be bought for probably $15.00 online. I thought it was worth it, for the footnotes alone:) Footnote 89, Page 143; John Jolly, Tahlonteskee's Brother, who emigrated with a party of 331 Cherokees to Arkansas, in February 1818, assumed the chieftainship of the western Cherokees on the Tahlonteskee's death, in the spring of that year.
