Abstract:
Colonel William Holland Thomas represented the Cherokee Indians and was a state senator. In 1862, he led 200 Cherokees of the 69th Regiment which was used primarily to protect the western part of the state during the Civil War. Although Thomas was court-martialed for failure to follow orders in 1864, he was not removed from his post, and he surrendered to Federal forces on May 7, 1865.\r\n
