DISPLACED BY WAR: Lunch event shares history of Camp Gruber

TAHLEQUAH – After the Pearl Harbor bombing, the president picked an area around Cookson to build an installation for training military personnel to prepare another attack.

At the latest “Lunch and Learn” presented by the Cherokee Nation Sept. 17, attendees listened to LeeAnn Dreadfulwater’s recounting of the history of the area. She is a historical researcher who works for the Cherokee Film Commission.
