New Echota, Calhoun, GA Jan. 10, 2013

Captain Kidd visited New Echota; the Cherokee nation's capitol before the trail of tears happened. It was a very interesting site, especially since this seems to be a forgotten history of the USA.

He hung out with a Cherokee man

He checked out the council house for a while.

Decided to see what the tavern had to offer

Not a bad tavern.

New Echota. A forgotten capitol

This was where the trail of tears started.
