<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> type_Document_Title_here </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> The Cherokee Indians supported the British and Tories. In 1776 a company under Capt. Henry Smith and an army of over 1200 men pursued the Cherokees to their towns on the Tennessee River. The Levin Savage file describes the destruction of the towns. They burnt the towns of Chilhowee, home of Dragging Canoe the chief of the Overhill Cherokee tribe, and the town of Chola. The Indians then came and sued for peace and gave up the Old Widow Bean whom they had taken prisoner. The chiefs or head men who came to the army were Little Carpenter, Pidgeon, and Conestoga. He doesn�t think Dragging Canoe came with them. No prisoners were taken. CONESTOGA � Cherokee chief who negotiated with General Christie after burning of the Cherokee towns. Levin Savage file.
