The Story of the Cherokees by W.R.L. Smith is a historical account of the Cherokee people, their culture, and their struggles throughout history. The book begins with the origins of the Cherokee people and their early interactions with European explorers, including Hernando de Soto and James Oglethorpe. It then delves into the Cherokee's interactions with the British and Americans during the colonial and Revolutionary War periods, including their participation in the American Revolution.The book also covers the Cherokee's forced removal from their ancestral lands in the 1830s, known as the Trail of Tears, and their subsequent struggles to rebuild their communities in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). The author provides detailed accounts of key Cherokee figures, such as Chief John Ross and Sequoyah, who developed the Cherokee syllabary, a written language for the Cherokee people.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the Cherokee's resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity, including their efforts to maintain their cultural traditions and language despite attempts at assimilation. The book is well-researched and provides a comprehensive overview of Cherokee history, making it an excellent resource for those interested in Native American history, culture, and rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
