*• I (full, with pfoafurc, give you
the inlormatie.n required, so (ar a.;
my mem >ry will now Li ve me, and
the help ot a memorandum I haitiiy
took on the subject, of a nation of
people called tne Weifn Indians,
la the year 173?, I was on a cam
paign again ft the Ciherokees, and
during my route dilcovered traces
of very ancient fortifications.—
Some time after the expedition, l
had occefi an to enter into a negoti
ation with the Cherokee chiefs, for
the purpose of exchanging piifon
crs. Alter the exchange had been
fettled, l took an opportunity of cn
quiring of a venerable old chief,
named Oconoftoto, (then, and for
nearly sixty years had been, a ru
ling chief of the Cherokee nation)
if he could inform me of the people
that had left such signs of fortifica
tions in their country, and particu
larly the one on the banks ot the
llighwaflee river ? I'hc old war
rior briefly anfwercd me as follows :
“ It is handed down by our forefa
thers that the works were made by
white people, who had formerly in
habited the country, while the Cher
ckees lived lower down the coun
try, now’ called South Carolina and
that a war existed btween the two
nations for many years. A: leng’h
j it was difeovered that thewnies were
! making a number of large boats,
which induced the Cherukecs to
1 suppose that they intended to de
lev ad the iknnefi'ee il.cr. They
then coll, clcd their wh de band of
w rriors, and took he Iho left and
m ft convea.ent re ate to the Mut
cle Si: -a s in or„er to intercept
them down the aver, la a lew j
days the boats hove in figi.t, and a
warm conn at eidu.d, wan various
iuCCels for 1 void days. /it
