I have relatives that are part Cherokee. My
Standridge ancestors came to AR with the
Cherokee Indians right after 1830. The
Harkraders were from OK but ended up back
in Virginia. This week one of my distant Cherokee
kin, Calvin Harkrader, sent pictures of his brother
(now deceased). He was a trapper for the US
government and hunted with hawks and dogs.
His job was to help the farmers in northern
Idaho by protecting their stock. Doc moved
to Idaho in 1969 and never left. I thought his
life was a interesting one. Here are some pictures
from another time and place. If you click on the
photo it will be larger!
