Tollantusky Trail
Named for
the Cherokee Chief Tollantusky, who was a very distinguished chief
of the
Arkansas
Cherokee. He came with other Cherokee from Tennessee to
Arkansas in
1809.
They settled on the Arkansas River and it is believe that
Tollantusky lived at
Cadron
between 1809 and 1817. He was instrumental in executing
several
treaties with the U.S. Government. He died in 1818 and was
succeeded by his
brother
Chief John Jolly.
