It lists the folks who traveled through Georgia to points west.

But I would like to add that Passports to travel through the Indian lands to Mississippi Territory had to be obtained and that they are published in book form Southeast Pioneers Passport or some title close to that. Someone will have it correct. It is a good book to have in one's library as it contains much information regarding the problems with trespassers in the Indian lands and also contains information regarding passports through Tennessee. I have read it cover to cover and will be adding it to my library as I often have to go back and check facts from the letters of Benjamin Hawkins and others who held the positions in Tennessee. Be aware that your ancestor's name may not be in the index but they could be included on the passport of some one who is indexed. That is another reason the book is a good acquisition. No, I do not get a cut for the copies sold. Just think it is a good resource. Tree Mother "She is insane, of course. The family history has bcome a mania for her."
