Emigrating Cherokees.–About 540 emigrating Cherokees, from the old nation east of the Mississippi, passed up the Arkansas, a few days ago, in charge of Lieut. Harris, U.S.A., on board the steam-boat Thomas Yeatman, on their way to join their brethren west of this Territory.
Arkansas Gazette, April 8, 1834
Lieut. R.D.C.Collins, U.S.A, arrived here last night, from Cincinnati, having left the steam-boat Cavalier near the mouth of Fourche, six or eight miles below this place, laden with provisions purchased by him for the U. S. Dragoons at Fort Gibson. We also understand she has about 200 emigrating Cherokee Indians on board, bound for the west. The Cavalier is expected up to-day, if she can get over the bar at the mouth of Fourche.
The Arkansas is again down to a pretty low stage-too low for steam-boat navigation above this place, and we understand it is close rubbing below.
Arkansas Gazette, April 8, 1834
The Cherokee emigrants, who passed up the river, about two weeks since, on board the steam-boat Thomas Yeatman, in charge of Lieut. HARRIS, U.S.A., we understand, are encamped near the mouth of the Cadron, about 35 miles above this place, in consequence of the water being too low for the boat to proceed farther up. Lieut. Harris came down to this place on Friday last, for the purpose of procuring wagons and teams to transport the emigrants to their destination by land, and, having made the necessary arrangements to employ the number require, returned on Saturday evening.
We are sorry to learn, that, in addition to the measles, which was prevailing among the emigrants, when they passed here, and which had caused a number of deaths, principally children, the Cholera has made its appearance among them, and carried off a good many victims. About 30 had died since they landed, previous to Lieut. Harris’ leaving, but the mortality had considerably abated within the preceding 24 hours-and subsequent information brings the pleasing news that the disease had nearly subsided, only one death having occurred
during the previous 24 hours.
Arkansas Gazette, April 22, 1834
The Cholera was still prevailing, with little or no abatement among the Cherokee emigrants, encamped near the mouth of the Cadron, when we last heard from them. The number of deaths in the party, from all diseases, since they left Waterloo, on the Tennessee river, amounts to about 60-a fearful mortality in a party originally not exceeding 550 souls, in the short space of about two months. Every humane exertion within the control of Lieut. Harris, the Conducting Agent, has been used to alleviate the sufferings of the emigrants.-one of the physicians, Dr. J. C. Roberts, employed by him to attend on the sick, was attacked with the disease, and died on Tuesday last; and Dr. John T. Fulton, the only other attending physician, was also seized with it last week, but, we are happy to learn, was convalescent and out of danger, on Friday evening last. Another has since been employed, from this county, who, we hope, may be more fortunate.
The disease also appears to be spreading along the river. A citizen of this county, Mr. Madison Taylor, died last week, about 15 or 20 miles above this place, and there was said to have been another case in his family and one in the vicinity, both of which are convalescent.; There have been several cases of the Cholera at or near Pine Bluffs, within the last 10 or 15 days, and three or four blacks have died-but the disease had abated when the last steam-boats left there.
For the information of our friends abroad, we have the pleasure of assuring them, that we have no case of the Cholera in town, nor in the vicinity, and that our citizens are as healthy as usual at this season of the year.
Arkansas Gazette, April 29, 1834
Upwards of 60 Cherokee emigrants were brought up, last week, on board the steam-boat Thomas Yeatman, and landed near the Big Rock, about 3 or 4 miles above this place, where they will remain until they can find means of conveyance to their new country west of Arkansas. Several of the party died on board the boat, of cholera, before they reached here, and some have since died. The disease was no doubt produced among them by the filthy condition in which they lived on board the boat they came up on.
