One of the significant historical values of this map j, its refutation of the myth about a Cherokee Indian maiden bearing the mythical name of Catechee who rode to a mythical fort to warn a lover that the Indians were coming to massacre the garrison and t he settlers, and who named the streams, as she reached them, on the basis of the number of miles she had traveled, Ninety Six being one of the names she applied.DocumentPublic Domain.
