A post road constructed in 1800 to connect Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee, passing through land occupied by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations, is discussed, particularly how the Native Americans were opposed to stands being constructed in their territory. The location of the stands along the area is discussed as are some accounts recorded by preachers that demonstrate the conditions of the road and the slaves living in the region. Other topics include the food that was available for purchase from stands along the road, plantation owner John McIntosh, and Samuel Mitchell, who was the U.S. Indian Agent to the Chickasaws. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Essay src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Southern Quarterly is the property of University of Southern Mississippi and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
