SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
“[The U.S. government is] aware that by your advice the Indians have in many
instances withdrawn from their engagements to emigrate the present season—and by this
conduct [of resisting removal] are losing the benefit of removing at the period best fitted
for such operations. If you value the welfare of your people why shut your eyes to the
evils and sufferings such counsel must inevitably entail upon them—upon you rests the
responsibility of the consequences dreadful as they may be and when the period arrives
for carrying out the provisions of the treaty and the imperative mandate of the law must
be executed by the United States, the Cherokees compelled to leave their present homes
unprepared, will perceive too late that they have been misled by false hopes and may
bitterly repent amid tears and blood having listened to such advice” (Reel 15, Frame
0473, emphasis added). John Mason Jr., an Indian agent, wrote these words on November
24, 1837, to a Cherokee delegation visiting Washington, D.C., to protest the removal of
Cherokee Indians from North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. Mason, as a
government representative, was trying to convince the delegation to return home and
begin encouraging their fellow Cherokee to relocate west of the Mississippi River as soon
as possible so as to take advantage of the best travel season. Most Cherokee did not
willingly move west, and Mason’s words would prove prophetic as the Cherokee were
forcibly removed during 1838–1839 in what became known as “The Trail of Tears.”
This letter provides a glimpse into one of the many fascinating subjects covered in the
microfilm collection Indian Removal to the West, 1832–1840, Files of the Office of the
Commissary General of Subsistence. The wholesale removal of Indians to land west of
the Mississippi River began in full force after Andrew Jackson signed the Removal Act
on May 28, 1830. The Office of the Commissary General of Subsistence conducted the
removals during 1830–1836, and because the office was part of the Department of War,
military officers oversaw most of the process. In 1836, the office was transferred to the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Department of Interior. This collection, therefore,
contains mostly letters and reports by Indian agents and other government employees to
the Commissary General of Subsistence. There are, however, many letters from
individual Indians and other citizens but still related to the actual removals. The
collection consists of three main sections: removal records, Choctaw records, and
Cherokee records. The removal records are listed in alphabetical order, by tribe or Indian
agency, on Reels 1–10 with scattered files located on the remaining reels within the
Choctaw and Cherokee records. The Choctaw records, located on Reels 11–14,
principally cover claims filed under the terms of the Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty (an
1830 U.S.-Choctaw treaty that provided for their removal west) as well as orphan lands
and claims. Located on Reels 15–19, the Cherokee records detail land claims filed under
the 1817 and 1819 treaties, claims by attorneys who represented Cherokees, and
applications for land reservations in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina.
v
The removal records consist of Entry 201: Letters Received by the Office of the
Commissary General of Subsistence from army officers, disbursing officers, Indian
agents, the commissioner of Indian affairs, and individual Indians. The following tribes
and agencies are covered: Cherokee, Chicago Agency, Choctaw, Creek, Kickapoo, Ohio
Agency, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Quapaw, Seminole, Seneca, Shawnee, St. Louis Agency,
Western Superintendency, and Winnebago. The substance of the documents in this
section varies by tribe and agency with a few topics appearing throughout. Agents in
charge of all removals, for example, had to submit removal expense and disbursement
reports detailing the estimated amounts required for removal along with the amount of
money actually dispersed. These expense accounts usually list the name of the person or
company receiving money and what service they provided. Agents additionally had to
divide their removal expenditures into three categories: subsistence, transportation, and
contingencies. The Office of the Commissary General of Subsistence explained
subsistence as “all types of Subsistence for Indians: corn, Beef, Salt, rations etc.,”
transportation as “Steam boat hire, Wagon hire, purchases and expenses of Wagons,
horses, oxen, boats, purchases of forage for teams and Subsistence for Teamsters;
commutation of Transportation; ferriages etc.,” and contingencies as “the pay and
Transportation of agents, Clerks, Teamsters, Interpreters and expenses; the cost of Tools
and of all other implements; the expense incurred in the opening of roads; hospital
expenses etc.” (Reel 9, Frame 0663).
The Cherokee and Creek removal documents contain many journals and letters that
discuss, at length, the actual removals. The following four quotations serve as an example
of the material covered in these journals and letters:
There were seven deaths today and six new cases…of the measles in camp
(Reel 1, Frame 0356).
Giving an account of the cholera among the emigrants 75 Indians had died on the
road—50 of the cholera…. Of the whole number lost 45 were children under ten
years of age (Reel 1, Frames 0461–0462).
We worked hard and suffered much from day Light until sun down to get six and
sometimes ten miles, it rained snowed or hailed almost Every day and freezing at
the same time. We were compelled to thaw the…blankets before we could roll
them up to put them in the wagons in the morning, the Indian children and sick
Indians had to go in the waggons [sic] on top of their Baggage and to prevent
them from freezing we were compelled to have fires along the road, and take
them out and warm them, dry their blankets that were wrapped around them and
replace them again in the waggons [sic]. Strict attention had to be paid to this or
some must inevitably have perished and there was a continual crying from
morning until night with the children (Reel 5, Frame 0142, letter from John
Page).
I laboured early and Late to get them to their New country. I never did witness or
experience anything to equal the scenes of the trip in My Life and hope it will
never be my Lot to do it again. Many persons pronounced it Murder in the
highest degree for me to move Indians or to compell [sic] them to march in such
vi
severe weather when they were dying Every day with the influenza, but I am well
convinced it was the only thing that kept them alive notwithstanding their
Exposure (Reel 5, Frame 0148, letter from John Page).
The removal records also cover the subject of Indian opposition to the removal. Of
the tribes covered in this collection, the Choctaw, Creek, Ottawa, Seminole, and Wea all
expressed opposition to the removal. As previously shown in the letter by John Mason
Jr., the government was anxious to have the removals completed as soon as possible and
exerted every effort to keep the process moving. In addition, the government often used
private contractors to remove Indian tribes and the contractors also expressed a desire to
have the process move quickly. John W. A. Sanford, who represented John W. A.
Sanford & Co., stated,
We have contracted to carry off the Indians, the sooner it is done the better for us,
as well as the Govt & the people generally. We doubt not therefore, whatever we
may say in relation to the matter will be received & acted upon in the spirit with
which the communication is made & that we shall have the cordial cooperation
of the Department in procuring the results desired by all (Reel 6, Frame 0337).
President Andrew Jackson also wrote to the Indians encouraging them to leave their land
for western reservations. Writing to Seminole chiefs, he stated, “If you listen to the voice
of friendship & truth you will go quietly & voluntarily. But should you listen to the bad
birds that are always flying about you & refuse to remove I have thus directed the
Commanding officer to remove you by force” (Reel 7, Frame 0353). The section of
removal documents provides a wealth of information on the actual removals as well as
opinions and sentiments of government officials and U.S. citizens involved, directly or
indirectly, in the removal process.
The Choctaw records begin in the removal section with documents related
specifically to Choctaw removals. Reels 11–14 contain the main section of Choctaw
records, which consist of Entry 267: Miscellaneous Choctaw Removal Records,
ca. 1825–1858. Reel 11 contains numerous lists and rolls of Choctaw names broken
down for various reasons such as those desiring citizenship, purchasing land reservations,
and serving during the Revolutionary War. This section contains actual letter requests for
citizenship where Choctaw verified their status as an Indian, listed names of family
members, and pinpointed in what location they wished to remain. Reels 11–13 contain
material relating largely to Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty. The material briefly covers the
actual treaty terms with the main focus on issues surrounding the treaty, such as claims
stemming from Articles 14 and 19. Reel 13 contains numerous case files from a
presidential commission appointed to adjudicate these claims. These files contain names
of claimants, details of each claim, documents between lawyers representing claimants
and commissioners, locations of land, and a variety of other material. Reel 14 contains a
large amount of material on Choctaw orphan lands such as locations, claims, civil
procedure to settle claims, government investigations and testimony at hearings, and lists
of Indians involved. Frames 0441–0459 contain certificates issued to Choctaw for their
claims under Article 14 of Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty. The certificates grant each
person listed a certain amount of public land located in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,
vii
or Arkansas. Frames 0460–0796 contain copies of bonds issued to purchasers of orphan
lands.
The Cherokee records also begin in the removal section but are mainly found on
Reels 15–19 and consist of Entries 222: Miscellaneous Cherokee Removal Records,
1820–ca. 1854; Entry 229: Records of the First Board of Cherokee Commissioners,
Reservation Claim Papers, 1837–1839; Entry 235: Records of the First Board of
Cherokee Commissioners, Decisions on Claims of Attorneys against the Cherokee
Nation, 1837–1838; and Entry 218: Cherokee Removal Records, Applications for
Reservations, 1819. The Cherokee records open with a brief history of U.S.-Cherokee
relations and treaties as well as detailed discussion of the Treaty of New Echota signed in
1835 in Georgia. This treaty provided for the removal of the Cherokee Indians to land
west of the Mississippi River. A Cherokee delegation, headed by John Ross, traveled to
Washington, D.C., to protest both the treaty and Cherokee removal. In a letter dated
November 1837, John Ross and his fellow delegates penned the following words, “We
know that the alternative is submitted to us either to recognize the validity of [the Treaty
of New Echota] which we believe fraudulent and void and admit that we are justly driven
from our Country and our homes, or submit to be thus expelled by irresistible force
without this base humiliation. We should be recreant to ourselves, faithless to our
profession[,] traitors to our Country did we yield the former” (Reel 15, Frames 0469–
0470).
The first four pages of Entry 229 contain an index to Cherokee claimants, most of
whom are covered in the remaining frames of Reels 16 and 17. The documents consist
mainly of legal papers, such as depositions, testimony, and power of attorney forms for
claims under the U.S.-Cherokee treaties of 1817 and 1819. The legal documents contain
information related to the claimant’s character, family members or heirs, and place of
residence when the treaties were signed. Some of the folders also contain survey material,
such as maps, which delineate the location of the land in question. The location of the
claim, such as the state in which the land is located, has been listed if that information
was available. Material from Entry 229 is also located on Reels 18 and 19, and contains
plats and certificates for land designated for each Indian. The claims list both treaties as
their basis so both years are referenced for each claim in the major topics.
The Treaty of New Echota, signed in 1835, provided for U.S. government
adjudication of Cherokee claims as well as payment of lawyers assisting Cherokee with
their claims. Entry 235 contains documents relating to lawyer claims for legal aid and
services rendered to Cherokee Indians in their land claims against the U.S. government.
Many of the folders contain signed documents from various Cherokee confirming that
they employed said lawyer, while other folders simply contain lists of Cherokee
employing said lawyer. Some folders contain information on civil procedures engaged in
on behalf of the Cherokee.
The final Cherokee section, Entry 218, contains applications from Cherokee who
wished to remain east of the Mississippi River and not emigrate to the West. The treaties
of 1817 and 1819 both had articles allowing for this action and were the basis of all
applications. Return J. Meigs oversaw the application process, and his name appears on
most documents as being “sworn to before me on this date” or as the recipient of the
application. Individually, the folders contain only one- or two-page applications,
however, taken collectively the documents from this entry are substantive. In addition,
viii
many of the applicants are covered in the earlier Entry 229 section, which contains
documents from the later settlement process that had been begun by submitting an
application. The final list of accepted land claims is located on Reel 19, Frame 0130, and
again covers Cherokee whose original applications are listed in Entry 218 and whose
settlement process is covered in Entry 229.

T
he wholesale removal of Indians to land west of the Mississippi
River began in full force after Andrew Jackson signed the Removal
Act on May 28, 1830. The Office of the Commissary General of
Subsistence conducted the removals during 1830–1836, and because the
office was part of the Department of War, military officers oversaw most of
the process. In 1836, the office was transferred to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs in the Department of Interior.
This collection contains mostly letters and reports by Indian agents and other
government employees to the commissary general of subsistence. There are,
however, many letters from individual Indians and other citizens but still
related to the actual removals. The collection consists of three main sections:
removal records, Choctaw records, and Cherokee records. The removal
records are listed in alphabetical order, by tribe or Indian agency. The
Choctaw records principally cover claims filed under the terms of the
Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty (an 1830 U.S.-Choctaw treaty that provided
for their removal west) as well as orphan lands and claims. The Cherokee
records detail land claims filed under the 1817 and 1819 U.S.-Cherokee
treaties, claims by attorneys who represented Cherokees, and applications
for land reservations in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina.
The removal records consist of Entry 201: Letters Received by the Office of
the Commissary General of Subsistence from army officers, disbursing
officers, Indian agents, the commissioner of Indian affairs, and individual
Indians. The following tribes and agencies are covered: Cherokee, Chicago
Agency, Choctaw, Creek, Kickapoo, Ohio Agency, Ottawa, Pottawatomie,
Quapaw, Seminole, Seneca, Shawnee, St. Louis Agency, Western
Superintendency, and Winnebago.
This collection presents rich contemporary accounts of the harrowing and
often deadly removal process, including the “Trail of Tears,” and federal
policies surrounding both.
