This volume is an alphabetical name index to the entries recorded in Ration Book #1. It appears to be a re-written, cleaner copy of Book #2, containing mostly duplicate entries but some additional entries extending into September-December 1837.
Ration book created and/or maintained by federal issuing agent Albert S. Lenoir during the forced removal of the Cherokee, 1836-1838. Ration books record the volume and types of food and clothing supplies issued to the heads of Cherokee and some Muscogee (Creek) families at removal camps in the vicinity of present-day Chattanooga, Tennessee and New Echota, Georgia. Supplies included bacon, corn, and cornmeal, and sometimes beef, salt, and flour.
