annotates: Focuses on Andrew Jackson’s order that missionaries could not be present at the negotiations for the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek that effectuated “final removal” of the Chahta from traditional lands in Mississippi. Very pro-missionary and pro-Presbyterian, Lankford walks a fine line between embracing Manifest Destiny outright and suggesting that missionaries might have sought another path. Provides context on Byington with a short biographical sketch and description of an event that he was peripherally involved in; nothing too in-depth.
