The Cherokee Indians once inhabited great expanses of lands on the American Continent, and the earliest ancestors of the Cherokee were known to control the majority of vital waterways throughout the times known as pre-history.
The Cherokee was known to exercise dominion over all the territory on the east side of the Alleghany Mountains, including the headwaters of the Yadkin, Catawba, Broad and Savannah Rivers and from there westward the Cherokee claimed the land as far as the Ohio and from there to the headwaters of the Chattahoochee and Alabama.
This purchase was supposed to protect the Cherokee from further encroachments on their lands by settlers by fixing permant boundries in the region of the North Fork of the Holston River and the headwaters of the Kanawha.
