Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This lengthy account of a tribe that has long captured America's imagination covers Cherokee ways and history from their earliest appearance in the Southeast through the forced removal of most of the nation to Indian Territory to life today in North Carolina and Oklahoma communities. The author's well-known line drawings and paintings highlight the text. His chatty, often anecdotal presentation, compounded by casual footnotes and a few obvious inaccuracies, make this book suitable only for the general reader. Eastern Cherokee history is covered more clearly by John Finger in both his The Eastern Band of Cherokees, 1819 - 1900 (Univ. of Tennessee, 1984) and his Cher okee Americans: The Eastern Band of Cherokees in the Twentieth Century (LJ 7/91 ). -- Mary B. Davis, Huntington Free Lib., Bronx, N . Y .
Booknews
In a magnificent piece of historical reconstruction, extensively and beautifully illustrated with his own color and b&w drawings, author/artist Mails, famous for his Mystic Warriors of the Plains (1972) and other works dealing with the history and ethnology of Native Americans, tells the story of the Cherokee people from their origins to the present time. 9.5x12.25".

    Excellent

    I've checked this book out from the public library so many times over the years. I can never get enough of it. The information is so descriptive and the pictures and diagrams details what life was like, what things accurately looked like in that time period. Different names for clans, locations of villages within the nation, treaties with the whites, some legends and folklore but not much, the Trail of Tears, etc... all is found in this book. <BR/>From before the settlers arrival to present day, in both the Appalachians and in Oklahoma, the timeline is great and in detail. <BR/>For someone who likes Native American history in detail, this book is a big help to understand the Cherokee people.
