The name sounded familiar. One of the Texas Cherokee posting in the forum here once, mentioned a battle in Texas. They were trying to get a historical marker soon, place for ceremonies too. Can't be sure if this was the same battle. That would be close to the time I joined the forum. My old profile got messed up, White Eagle had to fix me a new one, so doesn't show the real date I joined. Not sure when a historical marker was set up for Chief Bowles, here is the Texas State Historical Association page on him. www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fbo47

Pretty interesting, it said in 1936 the state of Texas but up a marker but no mention of one for Chief Bowls. I guess you'll have to do more research ;D

Pretty interesting, it said in 1936 the state of Texas but up a marker but no mention of one for Chief Bowls. I guess you'll have to do more research ;D "last engagement between Cherokees and whites in Texas" This is the battle that, one of our forum members was trying to get a marker put up for in Texas (last Texas Cherokee battle fought). Must have been for another chief. I'm thinking there was supposed to be a chief & son killed also, in the last battle. THE HISTORICALMARKER DATABASE www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=31566Inscription. On this site the Cherokee Chief Bowles was killed on July 16, 1839 while leading 800 Indians of various tribes in battle against 500 Texans. The last engagement between Cherokees and whites in Texas. Erected 1936 by State of Texas. (Marker Number 11383.) Location. 32° 24.489′ N, 95° 30.596′ W. Marker is near Edom, Texas, in Van Zandt County. Marker can be reached from Jett Lane. Click for map. Marker is in this post office area: Ben Wheeler TX 75754, United States of America.

Fount the history, at CHICKAMAUGA Cherokee site. www.chickamauga-cherokee.com/chiefbowl.html Cherokee War of 1839
CHEROKEE WAR. The Cherokee War of 1839 was the culmination of friction between the Cherokee, Kickapoo, and Shawnee Indians and the white settlers in Northeast Texas. The Indians, who had obtained squatters' rights to the land from Spanish authorities, were promised title to the land by the Consultation; and on February 23, 1836, a treaty made by Sam Houston and John Forbes,q who represented the provisional government, gave title to the lands between the Angelina and Sabine rivers and northwest of the Old San Antonio Road to the Cherokees and their associated bands. The treaty was tabled by the Texas Senate on December 29, 1836, and was declared null and void by that body on December 16, 1837, despite Houston's insistence that it be ratified. The Córdova Rebellion in August 1838 caused Thomas Jefferson Rusk to march on the Cherokees in an effort to intercept Vicente Córdova; but Córdova did not seek shelter among the Cherokees, and Rusk returned to the settlements. On October 16, 1838, Rusk, with 230 troops, pursued a band of Kickapoos, destroyed their village, and killed eleven warriors, including one renegade Cherokee. There were sporadic raids by the Indians during the fall of 1838 and spring of 1839. " (read more, go to website)

Hello Guys as far as I know the Chief Bowles was one of the management of the Chickamauga who battled against the united states during the Chickamauga conflicts. He led the first huge Cherokee emigration western across in 1809, where he and his supporters resolved in what later became Arkansaw Area.Thanks!!

I suppose we could add Wikipedia. link-The Bowl (Cherokee chief)-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Bowl (also Chief Bowles); (Cherokee: Di'wali) (ca. 1765 – July 16, 1839) was one of the leaders of the Chickamauga Cherokee during the Cherokee–American wars, served as a Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation–West, and was a leader of the Texas Cherokees (Tshalagiyi nvdagi).
