loc.gov/resource/g3920.ct00691

"this interesting tract of country contains four millions three hundred & sixty six thousand five hundred & fifty four acres, many rich gold mines & many delightful situations & though in some parts mountainous, some of the richest land belonging to the state"

Cherokee removal roundups began in 1838, Trail of Tears began soon after.
