John Ross was the most notable chief of the Cherokees and served as a leader and statesman for a half century during the most dynamic period of Cherokee history. His love and attachment to the sacred home lands matched that of the full blood Cherokees, whom he led when they were removed to Indian Territory in 1838-1839. Until his death, he remained the capable and forceful leader of his beloved Cherokees.
