Description
The ominous subtitle, March to Removal, opens a new series of Records of the Moravians Among the Cherokees that will take us up to 1838 and the tragic Trail of Tears. Volume 6 covers the years 1821–1824.
Despite the loss of teacher Anna Rosina Gambold, the Moravians open a second mission station near Oochgeelogy Creek, thirty miles south of Springplace, their first station. Meanwhile, confident of its future, the Cherokee Nation sets about building a civilization of its own with a national capital, legislature, code of laws, and diplomatic negotiations with Washington. Now, all the Cherokee Nation needs is a syllabary to write its own language—a goal that will be achieved during the time period covered in volume 7 of Records of the Moravians Among the Cherokees.
