A Chapter in the Aboriginal
History of Atlanta.
While standing at the cur shed some days
ago, I became the occidental, yet interested,
listener to the recital of seme incideuts in the
early history of Atlanta, by an aged gentleman,
who was en’ route to his home in Texas; and
such was the earnestness of the old man’s
manner, and so much interest did he throw

was early in the morning of a lovely Septem

party of young braves, attached to the Walton
Spring faction, had been absent all night in
the direction of the trading post, now Deca

manner was boisterous and insulting to all
with whom they came in contact. They had
traded skins k ior liquor, and it is a matter of

The two tribes known as tbe “Cherokees”

though the dawn of civilization*was pressing

That civilization did have a damaging effect
upon the morals of the Aboriginese of Geor

R H- Johnston, Jr.,
“Indians Springs” in 1821, and witnessed the
thrilling exhibitions of disaffection among the
“Creeks” when their chief signed that treaty.
It was a question upon which the “Cherokees”
and “Creeks” were largely divided, and the
opposition of very many of them to its final
consummation was of an intensely hostile
character. The disaffection among the Cher
okees was perhaps not so general, and they
packed bag and baggage for their new hunt
ing grounds beyond the northern bank of the
Chattahoochee, with a better grace than the
others. How far the discontent among the
Creeks extended may be inferred from the as
sassination of their chief by some of the
young “braves” of the tribe, a tragic event
that created no little consternation at the
time,. The perpetrators were never known,
though the lover of a young and beautiful
and unruly, and it is not improbable that the
assassins of the Chief of the Creeks perished
by the hands of one or another internecine
strife. My informant has a distant recollec
tion of a thick growth of giant oaks that stood
oi: the old Thompson hotel lot, and of the
deep ravine which runs along by the residence
of Jas. L. Dunning, Esq. He was full of in
cidents connected with the locating of Atlauta
about a half a century ago, but I have not
time to give all that he related tome. He was
then a robust man of thirty years, full of a
reckless spirit of adventure during tbe lour
years he spent with the Indians in the wilds
of this portion of Georgia. As a matter of
course, he did not dream, at that time, that
he would, fifty years later iu life, revisit by

to avow his crime, and meet him in mortal
combat, but the offer was never accepted, and
the girl was never avenged, or was not at that
time. She subsequently became the wife of
the brave young warrior, but the bitter feel- |

against the Chief, for having acquiesed in the
Indian Spring Treaty, was cherished against

wedded pair was never after one of roses. My
informant thinks that the murdered chief of
the Creeks was buried very near the town ot
Decatur, but he is not certain on that point.
At that time the place could scarcely be dig
