Description

"Through the centuries the Cherokee Indians have survived subjection to the British Empire, the tragedy of enforced removal to the West at the hands of the United States government in 1838, the misfortunes of the Civil War, and the dissolution of tribal bonds and assimilation into the citizenry of the new state of Oklahoma. The Cherokees, which portrays the great sweep of over four centuries of history of this remarkable people, is the first continuous account of the tribe from the time of their earliest contact with Europeans in 1540 down to the present. It has been characterized by historian Edward Everett Dale as a "real contribution to historical literature."" -- Book jacket.
