In this capacity, he was responsible for the safe conduct of more than 900 emigrants from Tennessee to Indian Territory in eastern Oklahoma. After the journey, Bushyhead was a principal participant in the formation of the new Cherokee government, providing stability in the turbulent and often internecine struggle between factions. And although without legal training, he served the new government as a chief justice of the Cherokee Supreme Court. Yet during these challenges, Bushyhead, also a Baptist minister, assisted missionary Evan Jones in establishing a vibrant Baptist presence among Cherokees." -- From jacket. 600 10 $a Bushyhead, Jesse, $d 1804-1844. 650 0 $a Trail of Tears, 1838-1839 $x History. 650 0 $a Indian Removal, 1813-1903 $x History. 650 0 $a Cherokee Indians $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Cherokee Indians $z Tennessee $x History. 650 0 $a Cherokee Indians $z Oklahoma $x History. 651 0 $a Oklahoma $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Tennessee $x History $y 19th century. 710 2 $a Mercer University Press. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014822.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802031036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10B7D2CC621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
