Alabama
In the record
Royce’s schedule records 18 cessions that lie at least partly in Alabama, from 1802 to 1835, under 13 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Muscogee (Creek).
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise here, including Chiricahua Apache: the 1872 reservation abolished (1876) and 27 years as prisoners of war (1886-1912/14).
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
