It had turned out that the land deeded to the Indians was better than the white men thought when they t...raded it to the Cherokees prior to 1838. It turned out that it became an eyesore for the land-grabber, and the paid politicians. This territory had become very v^aluable to the Cherokees as they rented it to the white men for grazing purposes, and they received for rental the sum of over two hun- 24 THROUGH CHEROKEE LANDS. dred thousand dollars yearly, and with that money the Cherokees maintained their gov- ernment, two colleges and over a hundred schools, asking no help from the United States. In fact the Cherokees were at last a prosperous people.
