European Americans have been illegally mining gold…

1828 CE

European Americans have been illegally mining gold for nearly a decade near the Cherokee town of Sixes, but Frank Logan “discovers” gold on Cherokee-controlled lands in North Georgia’s Habersham County in 1828.

At least two mines are constructed that year.

The Georgia legislature, almost immediately after the “discovery,” begins plotting the removal of the Cherokee.
