This article confuses John Ridge with his father, Major Ridge. John Ridge was born in 1803, not 1792. Additionally, it was his father, Major Ridge, who signed the Treaty of New Echota with the United States government and paid with his life for what many Cherokees regarded as an act of treason. John Ridge, his son, however, did not. For an ACCURATE biography of John Ridge OR Major Ridge, see Thurman Wilkins, Cherokee Tragedy: The Story of the Ridge Family and the Decimation of a People (New York: Macmillan, 1970).
