Book Synopsis After the Trail of Tears by : William G. McLoughlin
Download or read book After the Trail of Tears written by William G. McLoughlin and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful narrative traces the social, cultural, and political history of the Cherokee Nation during the forty-year period after its members were forcibly removed from the southern Appalachians and resettled in what is now Oklahoma. In this master work, completed just before his death, William McLoughlin not only explains how the Cherokees rebuilt their lives and society, but also recounts their fight to govern themselves as a separate nation within the borders of the United States. Long regarded by whites as one of the 'civilized' tribes, the Cherokees had their own constitution (modeled after that of the United States), elected officials, and legal system. Once re-settled, they attempted to reestablish these institutions and continued their long struggle for self-government under their own laws--an idea that met with bitter opposition from frontier politicians, settlers, ranchers, and business leaders. After an extremely divisive fight within their own nation during the Civil War, Cherokees faced internal political conflicts as well as the destructive impact of an influx of new settlers and the expansion of the railroad. McLoughlin brings the story up to 1880, when the nation's fight for the right to govern itself ended in defeat at the hands of Congress.
Book Synopsis Old World Roots of the Cherokee by : Donald N. Yates
Download or read book Old World Roots of the Cherokee written by Donald N. Yates and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most histories of the Cherokee nation focus on its encounters with Europeans, its conflicts with the U. S. government, and its expulsion from its lands during the Trail of Tears. This work, however, traces the origins of the Cherokee people to the third century B.C.E. and follows their migrations through the Americas to their homeland in the lower Appalachian Mountains. Using a combination of DNA analysis, historical research, and classical philology, it uncovers the Jewish and Eastern Mediterranean ancestry of the Cherokee and reveals that they originally spoke Greek before adopting the Iroquoian language of their Haudenosaunee allies while the two nations dwelt together in the Ohio Valley.
Book Synopsis Compilation of History of the Cherokee Indians and Early History of the Cherokees by Emmet Starr by : Jeff Bowen
Download or read book Compilation of History of the Cherokee Indians and Early History of the Cherokees by Emmet Starr written by Jeff Bowen and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many hours did Dr. Starr, the student spend inside the Barnes Medical College, St. Louis? Working from dusk to dawn refining the art of healing for a people he loved, only to realize later he was primed and ready to gather his people's history and lineages that unknowingly to him would be sought after for decades after he left this mortal coil. From first addition copies of both books, this is a compilation of the History of the Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and Folklore (1921) and Early History of the Cherokees Embracing Aboriginal Customs, Religion, Laws, Folk Lore, and Civilization (1917). It has been fully scanned or transcribed when needed with an added combined full name index (127 pages) all in one volume. This work of two-century-old books contains detailed family histories, hundreds of Cherokee relations with important lineages, tribal offices, Cherokee culture and history with pictures; plus a RARE copy of Emmet Starr's signature confirmed by an Oklahoma archivist who had seen several of his signatures in years past. These two extremely popular books by the famous Cherokee genealogist, Emmet Starr, have NEVER BEFORE been published together. For the first time this Compilation is now available for purchase at most online booksellers. While offering a way for thousands to find their heritage, Starr tells the Cherokees' story so curious descendants can relate to that history and the resilience of the very people they are searching for. Their fight to stay in Texas, to adapt to and build a life in Oklahoma after being driven from their homes in the east and told they weren't civilized. The Cherokee already had courts, churches, a government and led productive lives. The author stakes his reputation on showing the world that the Cherokee are a spiritual and culturally mature people. Not only showing who they were but what they were made of and why those searching for them today are just like their forebears. Starr's intense history helps the reader understand who truly the civilized ones were.
Book Synopsis The Cherokee Diaspora by : Gregory D. Smithers
Download or read book The Cherokee Diaspora written by Gregory D. Smithers and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cherokee are one of the largest Native American tribes in the United States, with more than three hundred thousand people across the country claiming tribal membership and nearly one million people internationally professing to have at least one Cherokee Indian ancestor. In this revealing history of Cherokee migration and resettlement, Gregory Smithers uncovers the origins of the Cherokee diaspora and explores how communities and individuals have negotiated their Cherokee identities, even when geographically removed from the Cherokee Nation headquartered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Beginning in the eighteenth century, the author transports the reader back in time to tell the poignant story of the Cherokee people migrating throughout North America, including their forced exile along the infamous Trail of Tears (1838-39). Smithers tells a remarkable story of courage, cultural innovation, and resilience, exploring the importance of migration and removal, land and tradition, culture and language in defining what it has meant to be Cherokee for a widely scattered people.
Book Synopsis Historical Sketch of the Cherokee by : James Mooney
Download or read book Historical Sketch of the Cherokee written by James Mooney and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When James Mooney lived with and studied the Cherokee between 1887 and 1900, they were the largest and most important Indian tribe in the United States. His dispassionate account of their history from the time of their first contact with whites until the end of the nineteenth century is more than a sequence of battles won and lost, treaties signed and broken, towns destroyed and people massacred. There is humanity along with inhumanity in the relations between the Cherokee and other groups, Indian and non-Indian; there is fortitude and persistence balanced with disillusionment and frustration. In these respects, the history of the Cherokee epitomizes the experience of most Native Americans. The Cherokee Nation ceased to exist as a political entity seven years after the initial study was done, when Oklahoma became a state. In the introduction to the original publication of this history in 1900, James Mooney commented that "there is change indeed in dress and outward seeming, but the heart of the Indian is still his own." This history was originally included in the 19th Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology. It was republished under the auspices of the National Anthropological Archives of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, at the request of the Governing Body of the Cherokee Nation, in 1975, with new introductory material and supplementary illustrations from the archives. The volume has a foreword from W.W. Keeler, chief of the Cherokee Nation, and an introduction by Richard Mack Bettis, president of the Tulsa Tsa-La-Gi-Ya Cherokee Community. James Mooney's main interest of study was the Cherokee people. Many say that Mooney wrote the most accurate accounts of the Cherokee culture and history. He spent years living with the Cherokee people in North Carolina, and was able to gain their acceptance and trust, which allowed him to write more firsthand accounts. This made his work more reliable and very accurate.Mooney was a member of the first generation of professional anthropologists; he left behind a wealth of ethnographical and historical data.Cary Michael Carney is a professional educator. He currently works for the Department of Defense, running their ASVAB student testing program for Kansas and most of Missouri.

Book Synopsis Cherokees of the Old South by : Henry Thompson Malone
Download or read book Cherokees of the Old South written by Henry Thompson Malone and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1956, this book traces the progress of the Cherokee people, beginning with their native social and political establishments, and gradually unfurling to include their assimilation into “white civilization.” Henry Thompson Malone deals mainly with the social developments of the Cherokees, analyzing the processes by which they became one of the most civilized Native American tribes. He discusses the work of missionaries, changes in social customs, government, education, language, and the bilingual newspaper The Cherokee Phoenix. The book explains how the Cherokees developed their own hybrid culture in the mountainous areas of the South by inevitably following in the white man's footsteps while simultaneously holding onto the influences of their ancestors.

Download or read book Trail of Tears written by John Ehle and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sixth-generation North Carolinian, highly-acclaimed author John Ehle grew up on former Cherokee hunting grounds. His experience as an accomplished novelist, combined with his extensive, meticulous research, culminates in this moving tragedy rich with historical detail. The Cherokee are a proud, ancient civilization. For hundreds of years they believed themselves to be the "Principle People" residing at the center of the earth. But by the 18th century, some of their leaders believed it was necessary to adapt to European ways in order to survive. Those chiefs sealed the fate of their tribes in 1875 when they signed a treaty relinquishing their land east of the Mississippi in return for promises of wealth and better land. The U.S. government used the treaty to justify the eviction of the Cherokee nation in an exodus that the Cherokee will forever remember as the “trail where they cried.” The heroism and nobility of the Cherokee shine through this intricate story of American politics, ambition, and greed.
