Letters, 1832 Sept. 10 - 1836 Sept. 11, from James Nance in Pickens Co., Ala., to George Nance, Wake Co., Raleigh, N.C. The letters describe James Nance's move into the land of the Choctaw Nation, and the Creek War of 1836. He further mentions that the Creek Indians were confined and sent beyond the Mississippi. Nance describes the land as plentiful with wild animals, crops, cotton, and fish. He mentions the missionary activities of the Cumberland Presbyterian sect, the need for "negroes" to work his land, and some of his long time acquaintances, such as Samuel Ivey, Boyd, Patsey Parrish, Jack Muhener, and Wooten Moore.
