English: Holograph, signed; Concerns the Secretary of War's protest of a draft drawn upon him by Governor Duval of Florida for the outfitting and expense of the Indian boys whom he had authorized to be sent for their education to the Choctaw Academy. He says that Major Eaton had forgotten the circumstances and that the Indian Chiefs may now be obliged to send their boys to a school for education of the whites in Kentucky; Richard M. Johnson was a U.S. representative and senator from Kentucky. He was vice president under Van Buren from 1837-1841 and the only vice president whose election was thrown into the U.S. Senate. He was a famous Indian fighter who established the Choctaw Academy by the terms of an Indian treaty called the Dancing Rabbit Creek treaty, providing the land and buildings for the school himself, and maintaining a general supervision over it throughout its existence. The school served boys from many tribes, including Choctaws, Cherokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, Miamis and Seminoles, and some white boys as well. It closed in the 1840's when the Indian nations opened their own territorial schools; In English. |
