Whitepath had been an influential leader during the turbulent 1820's and
30's. He had often warned the Cherokee " beware of the white way's, they will never
let us be like them." Chief John Ross had made Whitepath a leader of one of the
detachments during the Removal of the Cherokee in the winter of 1838-39. He died at the
present day site of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Whitepath was buried, his grave covered
with stones, long poles with streamers marked the grave. The passing Cherokee knew
an important leader had been laid to rest.
