$15.00 USD

The Cherokee Neutral Land covered an area comprising modern day Cherokee, Crawford, and part of Bourbon counties, Kansas in the mid-1800s. This book tells the story of the Neutral Land from its purchase by the Cherokees in 1835, to its cession, in trust, to the Federal Government in 1866. It is a story of conflicts over land and slavery, and between settlers, Territorial and State politicians, and the Federal Government.
