would have been would have been the equivalent of
Wounded Knee at the time. The countless glaring mistakes of historical fact in his account alone would be enough to discount it as a source. The "article" by Ken Tankersley is sourced on Troxell's account, Thomas Troxell's story (which he never claimed to be other than fiction), and personal communication with both Troxells. Hiking books, expecially ones not sourced, are NOT credible sources for Knowledge purposes. Knowledge is not a place where everyone can comes and say whatever they like without credible substantiation. None of the "sources" I deleted are at all credible, and the reliance of this article upon them should be enough to any objective judge to warrant the end of the disgraceful, embarassing article's existence here.
575:"Book in Progress" is what Tankersley calls it; check his website. I changed it to "upcoming book". THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER SOURCES FOR THE STORY WHICH CITED BY ANY CONTRIBUTOR OTHER THAN TROXELL'S ACCOUNT. Therefore, referring to it as the "sole source" is not "original research", Mr. SarekOfVulcan, especially since several authors of articles linked to this article have said exactly that, and is quite accurate. The changes I've, at least at first before Mr. SarekOfVulcan unilaterally reverted them all without discussion, were to remove material which had been placed there without discussion and restore it to the form which it had when the discussion to delete it decided to let it stay. Had such changes not been made, they would not have been there for me to undo.

furthest west any of his missions came was the one at Sale Creek in
Hamilton County. Also, Doublehead was assassinated in 1807 and John Sevier and his men were in their 60's and 70's, a little too old for massacring, raping, and plundering Indians. There is no reference of any kind to such an incident prior to Troxell's fictional piece for the Kentucky Historical Society.

public consensus on the verifiability of the stories; but the whole process can take decades. The
Cherokee may or may not care to question the validity of the massacre. As for this article, I recommend that to round out coverage of the debate, an anthropology source should be found and used to comment on the accuracy and problems associated with oral history.

Sarek has noted) included some significant POV and OR problems. If Chuck
Hamilton (or any other editor) believes that major changes are needed, it would be better to discuss them here, on the talk page, first and reach consensus for any such major changes, so that we can avoid any relapse into the contentious editing that we had on this article last year.--

As for the "additional sources" tag, additional sources are always welcome, but I don't think that this article has such a lack of sources to support what it says that this tag is appropriate either.--

You clearly do not care much about accuracy of information. You reverted first without giving sufficient reason to revert, and you deleted wholesale indiscriminantly several changes I had made, even ones for which I gave sources not only verifiable by
Knowledge standards but credible in any academic

Problem being this whole article can be viewed as controversial. Being
Cherokee I view it as true and my history. I have tried to write this piece with not "being personnal" and adding to the Native American Pieces. Not alot of information is available, only one book, a view websites, mostly Cherokee

You clearly have no idea what a "reliable" or credible source is if you consider anything that I have deleted reliable to any degree. Dan
Troxell invented this story and offers no other proof than his claims of a story handed down thru his family from 1810 without any outside observer noticing what

I concur with Sarek's restoration of the prior version of this article. We had reached a reasonably stable, neutral description of the subject. I don't know what provoked the sudden rash of changes from Chuck
Hamilton, but the result was a much less neutral version of the article, and one that (as

Actually, restoring _everything_. "Sole source" is original research. Scare-quoting "book in progress" is POV pushing. Adding blank lines to a ref template makes it harder to use. "'supposed' Cornblossom" is redundant, it already says it's a story. Editorializing over where Sevier comes from is

The "incident" in this "article" is a total fabrication dreamed up by Dan Troxell in the 1990's. Doublehead never lived in Kentucky--he is well-known to have lived in his town at the head of the Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River--and Blackburn never had a mission in Sequatchie Valley; the

This is the first time I've read the article or heard of the alleged massacre. It seems to me that although the article may have been biased in the past, it appears very neutral now. If this massacre is indeed part of Cherokee
