132 CHEROKEE NATION OF INDIANS. 
The arrangement of the historical text has seemed to the writer to be 
that best suited to the object in view. As will be observed, an abstract 
of the salient provisions of each treaty is given, beginning with the 
first treaty concluded between the Cherokee Nation and the United 
States of America. In each instance, immediately following this ab-_ 
stract, will be found the historical data covering the period and the 
events leading to its negotiation, as well as those of the subsequent 
period intimately connected with the results of such treaty.
