Stuart H. Marshall

A great first week of classes here at Sewanee, and a full house for my “Trails of Tears” course. Students will be developing more content on local history for our database, “Retracing the Bell Route: An Archive of Cherokee Removal”: Cherokee-Bell-Route.org

Dr. Marshall is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Sewanee–The University of the South. His research focuses on the Native South. Dr. Marshall's lecture, "Combating Revolutionary State Formation in Cherokee Country,” looks at the fight for revolutionary state formation.

Come see me at the Museum of the Cherokee People on March 25th!

Thank you to everyone who attended the military history symposium on Saturday and to the wonderful speakers who presented their research on the military history of the Declaration of Independence. Some of their presentations will be uploaded to our YouTube channel for viewing.

This Saturday is our one-day symposium about the military history of the Declaration of Independence! We have some incredible people who will be speaking on the topic. The event will be held at the Howard H. Baker Jr., School of Public Policy and Public Affairs.

I’ll be there presenting some research on Cherokee country in the Revolution. Check it out:

My students have put in a lot of hard work the past year on transcriptions and research. We have lots of content for you, and much more to come as the site develops. cherokee-bell-route.org/s/Cherokee_Bel…

Special thanks to our site designer Megan Styles, the Tennessee Trail of Tears Association, and National Trail of Tears Association. Support TOTA’s transcription efforts here: totclaims.com

The Bell Route of the Trail of Tears passed through Sewanee on October 25th-26th, 1838, on land now owned by the University of the South. With my colleagues Andy Maginn and Al Bardi, I’ve launched a database for the study of this history. cherokee-bell-route.org/s/Cherokee_Bel…

I'll talk about Junaluska's political career and the uses of Creek War memory through Cherokee Removal and beyond. Excited to share my research with NPS and present alongside Sue Abram and Steven Peach! nps.gov/planyourvisit/…

“If I had known that Jackson would drive us from our homes I would have killed him that day at the Horseshoe.” Junaluska's most famous quote is the subject of my talk at the Horseshoe Bend National Military Park Annual Symposium this Saturday in Auburn, AL.

100 years ago today, the Indian Citizenship Act was signed into law. The longer history is detailed in my digital map “Citizenship in Indian Country”: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ff8beb… Educators, consider this as a digital syllabus with sources for further study. Suggestions welcome!

Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the enactment of the Indian Citizenship Act. In commemoration, I am launching "Citizenship in Indian Country," a digital mapping site I developed with some of my students. Please share! arcg.is/1TD4ue0

This Memorial Day, as we approach the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act, I am reminded of the sacrifices of the World War I generation. Below: Carlos Montezuma's Wassaja, Vol. 3, No. 10, (Jan. 1919) prism.lib.asu.edu/node/51573

Wrapping up a great semester at Sewanee. Recently took my Native South students on a trip to New Echota State Historic Site, Chief Vann State Historic Site, and the John Ross house (below). Then they did final presentations in the field at a local bison farm

Honored to be on the Qualla Boundary today to do a live(!) translation of Eastern Band syllabary documents with this outstanding team

Original prints of Bartram, McKenney & Hall, De Bry, and more— our university archives is my favorite place to take students
