Barbara Cox is a descendent of James Roane Gregory.
These texts are of two types, histories and correspondence.
The histories follow the pattern of those published above.
The correspondence
includes letters Gregory sent to two prominent Indian Territory
figures, Emmet Starr and Pleasant Porter. It is included
because of the light it sheds on Gregory’s concepts of American
Indian history and culture.
Starr was a native of the Cherokee Nation who graduated from the
Cherokee Male Seminary before attending Barnes Medical College in
St. Louis. He practiced medicine for five years in the Nation,
but gave up that profession to take up his monumental work on
Cherokee genealogy and history.
After serving in the
Confederate Creek Regiment during the Civil War, Porter reorganized
the Creek school system and was a delegate to Washington. He
served his people in various ways before becoming Principal Chief in
1899, a post he held until his death in 1907.
