Abstract:
A long deferred honor may be paid to Colonel William Holland Thomas, said to have been the only white man to ever become a full-fledged Indian chief of the eastern band of the Cherokees. He was a recognized pioneer road-builder in what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There is a plan to have one of the new scenic highways in the park designated \"Little Wil\" Thomas or Wil-Usdi Highway as a monument to his memory.
