Stand Watie & The Boudinots

Here's a wonderful site by a descendant of Stand Watie and the Ridge/Boudinot family. It's a wealth of information and photos. Be sure and explore all of the links.

The history of the Cherokees from the period immediately prior to the Removal until after the Civil war has always been interesting to me. Theirs is the beginning of Civilization in Oklahoma.
