Chief Bowles of the Texas Cherokees>
and The Cherokees of Texas

Note: Contrary to the rather, shall we say, Euro-centric viewpoint of the written history of Texas, there are still plenty of Texas Cherokees and their descendants in Texas. The story is a sad one, filled with greed, jealously, betrayal, murder and atrocity at the hands of white settlers, as the history does reveal. Despite assertions that a treaty was never signed, there were two, and both are on file in the Texas Archives. They simply weren't -- and aren't -- honored. -- PathFinder
