OCONQ3TOTA,
Oconostota, king of the Creek* and
Cherokees, lord of thousands of
square miles of territory, leader of 10,
000 warrior*, h&* been called *tbe
chief who lived forever." Probably be
cause no one knowi when he wea
born or when he died. .
In 1730 he wai one of a delegation
of Indian chiefs who crossed the At
lantic and visited King George IL of
England. At that time he was already
a grown men and a famous warrior.,
In 1809 -eighty years later? -he waa.
still alive. For In a letter of that
dste David Meigs, Cherokee Indian
agent, writes that "greasy old Ooonoe
tota" had Just visited him.
The aged chief was therefore la all
probability long past his hundredth'
year when he Journeyed to Meigs's
home. Incidentally, he had lived to
?Ink from king to outoast tramp.
Oconostota was chosen king of
the Cberokeee and of their Creek al
lies In tl 88. He was a giant, of un
believable bedUy strength, and with
the courage of an angry wildcat. He
ruled bis "nation" with a " tyrant's
away that none dared dispute.
France and England went to war,
the French seeking to gain mastery of
all North America. Oconostota threw
his mighty Influence on the side of
the English. Hut for the tactless bn?
ality of certain British settlers he and
his savage army would have proved
valuable allies. But a party of fron
tiersmen accused some of Ms braves
pf stealing their horses. The In
dians denied the charge? ^whether
truthfully or not? and the colonists
undertook to punish the theft by at?
tacking one of Ocpnostota's villages.
An Injury Avenged.
This was enough to turn Ooonosfo
la's friendship to hate. With 10,000
warriors he attaoked the two British
forts of Loudon and Prince George,
and at the same time sent a throng
of scalping parties through the de
fenseless settlements of North and
8outh Carolina. .The garrison of Fort
Loudon was starved into surrender,
while the Prince George commander
and . many of his soldiers were slain.
Ooonostota promised the two hundrelfl
inmates of Fort Loudon a safe pas
sage into Virginia. But during the
first day of their rn^rch thither he
turned loose his bloodthirsty savages
upon them. The* only restraining ln
fluenoe through all these days of hoy
ror and death . was exercised by
Oconostota'a lieutenant (or "vloe
klng," as the colonists called him),
Atakullakulla, a dwarfish, gentle
chieftain, who again and ^agaln inter
fered to aoften his king's barbarities.
The British avenged tile murderous
campaign of Oconostota by ravaging
the whole Cherokee country with fire
and sword. Nor Would they pause In
the fierce work of vengeance until
Atakullakulla begged for mercy -in be
half of his luckless people. Ooonoe
tota had learned his lesson. He
henceforth loudly declared the British
nation the greatest on earth and him
self as Its truest friend.
For a time he seemed to Include
the American settlers In his loyalty
to the British government For he al
lowed pioneers to build homes upon his
tribal land at Watauga. He even re
ceived them kindly and leased ground
to them. But In 1775 the settlers, now
more numerous, demanded large
tracts in Kentucky and elsewhere.
Then Oconostota saw the danger and
struggled to overcome It. To the
Cherokee council that was discussing
thequeotion of giving up- t^o land to
the settlers he made an Impassioned
speech, prophesying that the Indians
would in time be swept from the earth
if they let the white men continue to
seise their hunting grounds. The
council overruled his objections and
made a treaty with the pioneers, sell
ing them the desired la&d. When the
treaty was signed Oconostota turned
to Daniel Boone, who had been prime
mover in the affair, and said:
"Young man, we have let you take
much l*nd from us. But I fear you
will find that land hard to live in."
His veiled threat was destined to be
most amply fulfilled. Almost at onoe
the Revolutionary war broke out. i
Oconostota eagerly offered his serv
ices to the British. With 2<fc600
braves at his back, he fell upon the
frontier settlements, spreading havoc
in his wake. But in the five years of
border warfare that followed between
his savages and the American militia
Oconostota was again and agsir
beaten.
From King *e Tramp.
{ These constant defeats weakened
| the old chiefs influence with the In
dians. At last his people rose agfclnst
him, deposed him from the rank of
head chief, or king, and put a young
er, more peaceful leader in his plaoe.
Such a fall from power was too much
for Oconostota's pride. He became
an outcast, took to drink, and spent
his declining years tramping ss a
beggar through the country he had
once ruled, keeping alive by benlng
or stealing from the very settlers
whom he had sought to destroy*
When he could find any one to listen
to him he would spend tours weeping
and bewailing. Ms lost "kingdom."
. And so? a forgotten, drunken vaga
bond?he passed out of history.. Nope
knows what at last befell him, nor
when or how he died.
