My GGG Grandfather > settled on land before 1838 that was previously inhabited by the Cherokee Connie Connie- you are so lucky to live in that area! My History teacher in the 7th grade, taught us a bit about it, only because the Hispanic kids called me half-breed.(I was suntanned-sunbleached blond-hazel eyes. And my name was "Miller". ) I am in California, my dad grew up in Oklahoma, when I read sections of the book to him, He did not know most of it either. His grandma was part Cherokee-but insisted that no one know. My mom is from Texas-it was not taught there either. Sandy [email protected]
