Fort Butler Played Very
Important Role In Early
North Carolina History
BY MRS. JERKY DAVIDSON
Near Murphy is one of the most
Listeria! places in North Carolina
This military stocKade known a
1 crt Butler played an importan.
role in the history of Nor.h Caro
lina.
It is primarily known for it">
part in removing Cherokee Indian
to territory in Mississippi.
According to tradition the Chero
kee Indians belonged to the Iroquo
ian group of the North but a power
ful enemy drove ;hem southward a
an early date.
They were firmly established in
the Appalachian region when the
first white men came to the ter
litory. A census taken by th,'
I nitcd States government in 183"?
gave the population as 18. (MX) I?
is said there were 64 towns and six
thousand warriors. Their govern
ment was democratic. The execu
live authority was vested in a
main chief with an assistant. Un
der chiefs were in charge of cer
tain areas. Their legislative body,
chosen by the people was made
up of two houses which held regu
lar meetings. The capitol of the
Cherokee Nation was Echota. or
"City of Refuge," situated in East
Tennessee.
With each treaty the Cherokee
Nation made with the whites their
bound ry shrank. The eighth, and
last. The Trea.y of New Echota I
was signed in 1835 In this treaty. |
the tille ta aH lands in Norih Car I
olina. South Carolina. Georgia I
Tenntssee ami Alabama was ex
tinguished The Cherokee agree j
*o move west of the Mississippi to
I'he Indian Territory.
The lime of the removal expired
May 23. 1838 Yet 13.000 Indians
' let1 by their chief. John (toss, re
inained. President Van Buren or
dered General Winlield Scott to take
, command and remove the Indian
I by force.
The event has been called "The
Trail of Tears' due to the heart
break. sickness, suffering and
I death.
The Indians trusted the white '
man and suffered because of their
i trusi. The Missionaries at th?1
Mission Place which is now Peach
nee in Cherokee County has spread'
:he Gospel of Christ. They had
taught the Indians to be less war
like. Now they found the white j
man under false pretense taking
J heir land
The work of gathering the In
I dians began May 26 1838. Due to
? unfavorable weather, it was re
! cuested by John Ross to allow the
I itmaining Cherokees to be respon
sible for the removal and that the
jiurney be postponed until fall.
John Ross was elected superin
tniutru. U lot expedition. It ?a>
decided to divide tile Indians ini >
13 parties of nearly equal size
Tc carry out the removal of In- j
dians. it was necessary to erect
:orts or military posts. Early map-,
show western North Carolina a
liaving many Indian towns and be
? ng thickly sc. lied. Consequently
the greatest number of forts was
established in this section. Fort
Lindse.v was established in present |
Swain Courtly: Fori Scotl in Macon;
Fort Montgomery in Graham Coun
i y Fort Hembree. Clay; Fort l)e
l?ney and Fort Butler in Cherokee
County.
Miliary names were given to
most of these forts. Butler was
named for Secretary of War. B F
Butler.
Fort Butler was established op- , ?
posite the mouth of JCoaehee do | ? -
(he south bank of the Hiawassef. _
It is of interest that several sold
iers from General Scott's arnfy ?
died and were buried at Fort But
ler In 1906 the bodies jvere re
moved to the National Cemetery at
Marietta. Ga.
Following the removal. Fort But
Itr served as a Temple of Justice.
It is written in North Carolina laws
that Be it enacted by the General
Assembly ?>i North Carolina, ani
r i* hen j v enacted by the au
tlioniy of the same, that the first
County Court trf Cherokee si>a!l
