In today's episode, we delve into the story of George Corn Tassel, a Cherokee man who was charged with the murder of another Cherokee man in Cherokee territory in the 1830s. Despite the incident happening in Cherokee territory and involving only Cherokee people, he was convicted by the State of Georgia and hung in Gainesville, Georgia. This led to a series of legal battles that reached the United States Supreme Court in Worcester v. Georgia.

Historian, professor, and author, Dr. Michael Gagnon joins us today. Dr. Gagnon has conducted extensive research on Cherokee Removal, Cherokee court cases, and many many other topics that we look forward to exploring in later episodes. Today, we are going to dive into the details of the Corn Tassel story and what led the State of Georgia to intervene in Cherokee affairs.
