Fort Buffington, a major Cherokee Removal Fort located about five miles east of Canton, Georgia, curiously “disappeared” shortly after its closure. The starting point of the Trail of Tears for many Cherokee, all traces of this stockade seem to have suddenly vanished from the countryside about 50 years after its abandonment, even though it had been a landmark for years. What happened to it? Where was the fort located? What might it have looked like? This updated, expanded, and newly released paperback book of an earlier eBook contains facts and speculation, along with over 50 photos, illustrations, and maps. Order Papaerback here.

This Report is based on a Vogt-Dautzenlein presentation that addresses the Legend of the Cherokee Removal with a forensic look at some of the 180-200 year old documents related to the Removal and Trail of Tears.
One Dautzenlein Principle states: There is ALWAYS more to any dautzenlein than first meets the eye! This could not be more true than it is here, as the warnings and lessons of 1838 are echoed in today’s headlines.
The documented information in this report may affect you, as it did one person who reported, ” It shook me to my core!”

Vogt-Dautzenlein Research Report, available in paperback :
The Cherokee Removal, often referred to as the Trail of Tears, is one of the most complex, confusing, and heartbreaking periods of American history. While much has been written about it, much still remains a mystery. The exact locations of all but a few of the more than twenty Removal forts and posts have been lost to time. Consequently, most of the initial Trail of Tears routes taken by the Cherokee and the soldiers have also been lost.This report presents the latest information about two of the Trails connected to two Removal sites in Cherokee County, Georgia. The purpose of this report is: To document newly recovered historical information; present it, as found; and report the findings in an organized form. The report also proposes some hypotheses.The style of the report is designed to be a resource for researchers and still interesting to any “history nut”.

“Today, looking out across the broad expanse o
f the Lake Allatoona reservoir, most people just see a big lake. One might have difficulty imagining how this area looked before the dam was built, with the Little River flowing down to join the larger Etowah River at their confluence. A confluence is the spot where two rivers meet and flow together. Lake Allatoona is formed by the dammed up waters of these two ancient, winding rivers. Down the Little River toward the Etowah River, just out a short distance from the ends of the docks behind Little River Grill, is the former location of historic Cherokee Mills and its dam. On June 16, 1864, a Civil War skirmish took place just a few yards from here. The primary focus of this book covers a radius of about two miles from the central point where the two rivers still flow together, deep below the surface of Lake Allatoona. This is considered the “Sixes “ area, named for a Cherokee village once located here. Photos, illustrations and maps assist the reader to appreciate the area and its history. Order paperback here.
Look at something around you. Whatever you see, there is more to it than first meets the eye. There are “hidden” connections waiting to be discovered. Dautzenleins are these connections, the vehicles to unlock the doors of discovery and understanding.
Dautzenleins (pronounced “dots -n- lines”) are the connections of people or things, places, dates, and events.
Dautzenleins are invitations to look and see “what else” is around you; to discover the “dots and lines” that connect everything. Discovery makes life exciting! Whether one discovers a new person, place, or idea, or discovers another way to look at something, it leads to understanding. All of life and history is a continuing discovery of the Dautzenleins around us. This book presents the basics of a new way of viewing things so you can begin to understand and use the power of the Dautzenlein. We are constantly impacted by people, things, places, and events of the past and present, and how they relate to each other and to us. Some of these relationships are easy to see, while others often go unseen, almost hidden, even though they are very relevant and intriguing pieces of the picture. If we view people, places, and artifacts as “Dots”, and view the rivers, roads, ideas, communications, and commerce as “Lines”, we can connect the “Dots” and “Lines” and discover some amazing and interesting aspects of history! Our “Rule”: No dot exists without, at least, one line connected to it and no line exists without at least two dots connected to it. From the above rule, we see that the smallest Dautzenlein unit is: two dots connected by one line. Discover any connection, and more dots and lines will begin to fall into place from there… just start connecting! Order eBook Here.
