On a hillock overlooking the town ' of Robbinsville. the county seat of ' : Graham, one of the southwestern eoun j ties of North Carolina, is to be erect- | ed a memorial to the Cherokee Indian \ warrior Junaluska, “I tried, but ! failed.” Junaluska was always re ' ferrred to by the early white settlers as the “friendly Indian." He was born In the mountains of Cherokee county, North Carolina, in 1758. At the battle of Horse Shoe Bend, Gen. Andrew Jackson with his white troops had the Creek Indians hemmed in at the bend of the river. Junaluska, who had pre viously attached himself to Jackson’s forces, intuitively grasped the situa tion and swam the river and cut loose the Creeks' canoes. Being un able to escape In their boats, the hos tile Indians were surrounded by Jack son's men and decisively beaten. In recognition of Junaluska’s exploit and signal assistance to the white men, the ujuicuicui iv jtiavc ini' uiruivi iai wu the Graham county hillside has been undertaken. Why She Was Net Thankful.
