This episode I discuss the events leading up to the Cherokee-American War, the conflict which tips off 20 years of conflict between settlers and Cherokee. The principle actors being Attakullakulla, Oconostota, and Dragging Canoe. I also touch on the sources for this period, and why it has languished so long in obscurity.
