New Book! Records of the Moravians Among the Cherokees, Volume 8 is online and in our store!5/26/2018 Our newest book is Number 8 in the series, Records of the Moravians Among The Cherokees! Records of the Moravians Among The Cherokees, Volume 8 (1828-1830): March to Removal, Part 3" covers the brief span of just two and one half years, 1828-July 1830 when events sealed the fate of the Cherokees east of the Mississippi. Though some Cherokees had emigrated to the west, the majority chose to remain in their ancestral homeland. Changes came quickly, those who stayed were given choices of emigration or live as second-class citizens under Georgia laws. Read more about this great new addition or purchase it here!
