Abstract:
Two monuments were erected in Graham County to honor Junaluska, Native American chief during the 18th century. He aided General Andrew Jackson's forces in the battle with Creek Indians and was credited with saving Jackson's life during the Battle of Horsehoe Bend. Neither of Junaluska's efforts solidified Jackson's allegiance and Jackson ordered a militia to remove the Cherokee from the mountains. The Mexican War slowed these efforts and Junaluska along with his Cherokee tribesmen remained in the Smoky Mountains.

Abstract:
Provost recounts incidents in the life of the famous Cherokee chief, Junaluska. He and other Cherokees saved Andrew Jackson's life at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814; yet when Jackson was President, he ordered the removal of the Cherokees to the West in 1838. Junaluska later returned to North Carolina, a 'chief without a tribe,' and settled in Graham County, where he died in 1858. In 1910, a monument was erected there to his memory.

Abstract:
William Thomas is perhaps more widely known for being the captain of the last Confederate unit to surrender at the end of the Civil War and six term state senator. However, he may be remembered just as well for his advocacy of North Carolina’s eastern Cherokee. This can be perceived in support of the Oconaluftee of Washington’s fight for exemption from removal by the government in 1835, election as chief of the eastern Cherokee in 1838, and election in 1862 as captain of a Cherokee troop whom he inspired to enlist in the Confederate army.
