Document: CM001 [Diary] 1840-1842 / William Holland Thomasauthor: Thomas, William Holland, 1805-1893 date: 1840 -- 1842 extent: 72p summary: This document is a diary that belonged to William Holland Thomas, an attorney for the Eastern Band of Cherokees throughout the middle part of the nineteenth century. The diary entries run from March 1840 to October 1842. Thomas maintained a detailed log of his daily activities, including his travels, business dealings, legal actions relative to Cherokee claims and some accounts of his social life. Another of Thomas's diaries, cm002, is included in the Southeastern Native American Documents database. repository: Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Cherokee, N.C. collection: MSS9901-07 subject headings: The William Holland ThomasDiaries include seventeen volumes, three penned by his chief associate in his mercantile business, Johnson W. King; one prepared by his son, William Holland Thomas Jr.(1877-1878); and one written by his younger son, James Robert Thomas(1884). The diaries provide a look into life in Western North Carolinaduring the years 1840-1860. Thomas, the owner of five stores in North Carolina, served as the white leader of the Cherokeeswho remained after the Removal of 1838. He spent many years in Washington D.C.serving as the CherokeeAgent in an ultimately successful effort to secure the award of the claims filed by the Eastern Band of Cherokeesunder the Treaty of New Echota( December 29, 1835) . Thomasspent much of his time while in Western North Carolinaworking for the Indians by purchasing land for them, much of it within the boundaries of the current Qualla Boundary. He also advised them in how to grow better crops; judged them in disputes, sometimes involving such crimes as murder; performed marital ceremonies; and served as their friend and advisor. He was, one might say, the Indian's connection to the Euro-American world which threatened to engulf and destroy their culture in the 19th century. During his years in Washington, Thomasrecorded many interesting events. In the 1845 Diary, for example, Thomasdescribes the inauguration of President James Knox Polk. The 1845-1846 Diary is described by Thomas as a "Journal of my Travels North." In the pages of this journal Thomasdiscusses a trip to New York City, Albany, Utica, Niagara Falls, and Boston. He describes the details of life in Western North Carolinaincluding the prices of livestock, wagons, slaves, et cetera. The building of roads, known as "turnpikes" at the time, is also detailed including the fees charged for usage known as "pikeage fees." One of the most interesting diaries was written by Johnson W. King(1840-1843) in which he describes a trip through Athens, Murfreesboro, and Nashvilleto the Western District of Tennessee. King's descriptions of stopping points along the way, the rugged country of Sequatchie Valley, the Cumberland Plateau, and the still unsettled portions of Tennesseewest of Nashvilleprovide the reader with an invaluable glimpse into the region during that period. Throughout the diaries of the 1850s Thomasdetails the meetings of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company and their efforts , along with those of railroad builders Anson Bangsand Company of New York, to construct the line through the Blue Ridge mountains. Finally, other matters are discussed that will provide the researcher with a variety of insights into such areas as illnesses experienced by Thomasand the treatments that he used to counter them; popular pastimes and personal moments; daily tasks given to slaves and laborers; and general social aspects of Thomas's life.
