The Mountain That Was God is a book written by John H. Williams that explores the culture and traditions of the Cherokee people in the Great Smoky Mountains. The book is a blend of history, anthropology, and personal memoir, as Williams draws on his own experiences living among the Cherokee to paint a vivid picture of their way of life.The book begins with a description of the Great Smoky Mountains and the role they played in the lives of the Cherokee people. Williams then delves into the history of the Cherokee, from their origins in the Southeast to their forced removal to Oklahoma in the 1830s. He also discusses the impact of European settlers on the Cherokee, including the introduction of Christianity and the devastating effects of disease.Throughout the book, Williams focuses on the spiritual beliefs and practices of the Cherokee, including their reverence for nature and their belief in the interconnectedness of all things. He also explores the role of storytelling in Cherokee culture, as well as their traditional arts and crafts.The Mountain That Was God is a fascinating and engaging book that offers a unique perspective on Cherokee culture and history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American history, anthropology, or spirituality.1911. This little book is about the great peak which the Indians named �������Tacoma������� but which is officially called �������Rainier.������� It aims to show the grandest and most accessible of our extinct volcanoes from all points of view. Like the glacial rivers, its text will be found a narrow stream flowing swiftly amidst great mountain scenery. Its abundant illustrations cover not only the giants' fairyland south of the peak, but also the equally stupendous scenes that await the adventurer who penetrates the harder trails and climbs the greater glaciers of the north and east slopes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
