Hargett, J. L.

"...the General Merchandise tokens were used to pay the farmer for these Eggs, Poultry, and Butter which he brought to the merchant. The advantage to the merchant was he could sell for cash the eggs, poultry and butter etc. having bought them with 'SCRIPT' money and it might be sometime before the holder would ask to redeem it."--Preface.

The Choctaw Indians signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, which guaranteed them land in Indian Territory in exchange for their land in Mississippi. They formed the Choctaw Nation in 1834 and sent many delegations to Washington to resolve claims arising out of this treaty. Delegates included Forbis LeFlore, Thomson McKenney, and Peter Pitchlynn.
