ABSTRACT

This treaty is simply an elucidation of the first article of the treaty of January 7,1806, and declares that the eastern limits of the tract ceded by the latter treaty " shall be bounded by a line so to be run from the upper end of the Chickasaw Old Fields, a little above the upper point of an island, called Chickasaw Island, as will most directly intersect the first waters of Elk Eiver; thence carried to the great Cumberland

67 Mountain, in which the waters of Elk Eiver have their source; then along the margin of said mountain, until it shall intersect the lands heretofore ceded to the United States at the said Tennessee ridge."
