Note About the Editor

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.
