Visit to Talbot Library and Museum by Colcord School's "Hornets of Character" After School Program4/23/2022 On March 29, 2022, Talbot Library and Museum was very pleased to welcome a tour of our facilities to students of Colcord Public Schools and their parents. The student group is the "Hornets of Character" After-School Program. They toured our Museum, Library, outbuildings, and our property grounds.
This group also had a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt list included items found on our property at the Talbot Library and Museum. This hunt was organized by Chase Payne who is the "Hornets of Character" Program Director. The students and parents really enjoyed the "hunt" and becoming acquainted with our facility. We want to give a big thank you to Karen Hilliker, Family Engagement Coordinator with Colcord Public Schools, for sharing the wonderful photos of this event. What a great time! A new exhibit opened this month at the Cherokee National Supreme Court Musuem. This exhibit named “Sovereignty on Trial: The Tragedy at Goingsnake” looks at the story of Cherokee Nation citizen Ezekiel Proctor and what has been called the Goingsnake Massacre on the event’s 150th anniversary. From the Cherokee Nation website: "On April 15, 1872, Cherokee Nation citizen Ezekiel Proctor was on trial in a Cherokee Nation court for the murder of Cherokee Nation citizen Mary “Polly” Hildebrand when a U.S. Marshal’s posse sent to arrest Proctor interrupted the trial. A shootout broke out leaving 11 men dead or fatally wounded, including a deputy U.S. Marshal. Proctor’s trial and its aftermath became the centerpiece of long-standing jurisdictional debate between the federal court and Cherokee Nation. That debate continues into the present even after the Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling that the reservation of Muscogee Nation in Oklahoma was never disestablished. The decision ultimately impacted Cherokee Nation and its jurisdiction in criminal matters." ![]() The trial and its aftermath became the centerpiece of long-standing jurisdictional debate between the federal court and Cherokee Nation. This exhibit runs from April 5, 2022 through April 8, 2023. Visit Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to see this exhibit in person and learn more about this event still relevant today. The Cherokee National Supreme Court Museum address is 122 E. Keetoowah St. Tahlequah, OK 74464. ![]() (The Talbot Library and Museum assisted with research materials and images throughout the exhibit.) ![]() We had this book in our store in the past and have now added it to our collection again. This book by Ralph Henry Gabriel was originally published in 1941 by University of Oklahoma Press. It is recently reprinted and is the history and story of Elias Boudinot. He was a formative part of Cherokee history, educated by Moravian missionaries in Georgia, and at the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall, CT. There he met and married Harriet Gold who settled with him in his Cherokee homeland. Elias and Samuel A. Worcester published the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper in Georgia. There Elias joined with friends and relatives, the Ridges and Waties, urging removal to the West. It was a tumultuous time for the Cherokee, Elias made the move west to Indian Territory, and met his death there at the hands of assassins in 1839. Paperback, 190 pgs, inc. index and illustrations. This book is $21.95 and is available online and at our store in Colcord, OK. ![]() This wonderful reference book has been transcribed by Jack D. Baker.
