Soldiers During the Cherokee Removal (1837 Trail of Tears) — 5 Comments

  1. This unit was convened in 1836 and apparently disbanded at the end of 1837 (according to the record above). The removal of the Cherokee began in May of 1838 from everything I’ve read and ended in 1839. Can someone help me with the inconsistency of dates here?

    • Volunteer companies helped in rounding up the Cherokee but the units were discharged before the Indians actually started the journey. Regular army was responsible for moving the Cherokee to their new homes
