The Cherokee Trail
Published in Library Binding by Bt Bound (October, 1999)
Author: Louis L'Amour
Average review score:

An exciting story which has it all in it
I really enjoyed reading this book. The book The Cherokee Trail was about a women named Mary Breydon who travels west to Colorado to be the manager of a rundown stagecoach station. Mary's husband had originally planned to run the station, but he was shot and killed by a ruthless guerilla Jason Flandrau. This book has a lot of well developed characters including the quiet gunman with a past, Temple Boone, Matty, the irish maid, Wat Tanner, the boy who knows too much, and Scant Luther, the old station manager with a grudge. The story has a very interesting plot. Soon after she comes to Colorado, mary learns that Flandrau is a respected figure in the community and is up for Governer. Flandrau soon learns Mary is in town, and wants her dead because she could tell the town about all the plundering and wrecking he did in the south. To find out what happens to Mary, and to find out about Temple's interesting past you should read his book.


Cherokee Voices: Early Accounts of Cherokee Life in the East (Real Voices, Real History)
Published in Paperback by John F Blair Pub (October, 2002)
Author: Vicki Rozema
Average review score:

Interesting, useful and unique perspective of Cherokee life
Cherokee Voices is a collection of first person accounts of Cherokee life in the east in the 18th and 19th century. The accounts are taken from journals, letters, official records, and other primary sources and describe a wide range of events in Cherokee daily life and historical events. Included are speeches by Nancy Ward, the famous Cherokee Beloved Woman, and Ostenaco and Little Carpenter, two famous 18th century Overhill Cherokee leaders. Eyewitness accounts of a Chickamauga attack on travelers on the Tennessee River, a Cherokee ball game, a Cherokee dance, descriptions of council houses, life in a Cherokee Mission, front row seats at treaty talks, and other first person accounts make this book more interesting than your typical dry textbook of Cherokee history. Rozema's book would be useful for schools for assigned reading by students to learn what the Cherokees were really like. It would be helpful to teachers or anyone else wanting to get a quick, interesting and unique perspective of Cherokee history and life.


Cherokee Warriors: The Loner
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Avon (29 April, 2003)
Author: Genell Dellin
Average review score:

immovable law and the untouchable outlaw make for great fun
In 1877 in the Cherokee Nation West, Lighthorseman Black Fox Vann trails Cat, a Robin Hood like robber turned killer when he murdered Deputy US Marshal Turner. At a general store, Black Fox sees Cat dodging bullets running towards his horse. Black Fox follows only to find an unconscious Cat shot in the shoulder. He strips him only to shockingly see breasts.

Cat hears him mumbling about taking a female to Judge Parker to hang for murder, but cannot understand why he says that until he accuses her of killing Turner. She denies killing anyone yet, but plans to kill the general store owner Tassel for killing her stepfather and mother, and trying to rape her. He knows she is too hurt to travel to Ft. Smith for her trial, so he takes her to his ranch to heal. Black Fox wants to believe Cat's cries of innocence as he is falling in love with her, but his credo is the law is the law.

Genell Dellin demonstrates why she is the recipient of the RT Career Achievement Award with this strong western romance. Though there is plenty of action, the key to the tale is the relationship between the two characters who are attracted to one another from the start, but he adamantly believe in upholding the law while she feels the law failed her. The immovable law and the untouchable outlaw make for great fun for readers.

Cherokee Words With Pictures
Published in Paperback by Cherokee Pubns (June, 1988)
Average review score:

A slim volume with an interesting mix of words.
This small pamphlet like book is a very useful addition to the library of anyone interested in languages, obviously Cherokee in particular. The book is 56 pages of dictionary with some biographical and informational text as well. There are 3 main sections to the dictionary, Cherokee words, Phases and People. Also in the back are translations of Psalm 121:1-2 and a couple songs. I like the practice this book can provide with hand-written Cherokee syllabary, and the illustrations can be helpful as well. I picked it up at a Pow-Wow, but I am sure a persistent shopper can find a copy.


Cherokees and Missionaries, 1789-1839
Published in Hardcover by Yale Univ Pr (February, 1984)
Authors: William Gerald McLoughlin and William Gerald McCloughlin
Average review score:

Excellent book
I found this book to be very interesting. I found references made to my 5th Great Grandfather Samuel Riley and his son Richard Riley. It was very interesting and fasinating reading history on your own ancestors and their ways of life. My cousin found this book fasinating after she read parts of mine, that she went and bought it for herself.

The Confederate Cherokees: John Drew's Regiment of Mounted Rifles
Published in Hardcover by Louisiana State University Press (July, 1989)
Author: W. Craig Gaines
Average review score:

Unraveling the Mystery: Cherokee Nation Politics
Being of Cherokee decent and having been raised in the heart of the Cherokee nation, I was immediately intrigued when I saw this title. The mystery of the internal conflicts and relations within the Cherokee Nation has been an interest of mine ever since I was a child hearing the oral stories. The stories were confusing then, and after reading Gaines' book, I now have a better grasp of the situation that was responsible for tearing apart the land I was reared-in and the people who were rearing me. Gaines does an excellent job of researching a subject that has very few sources available, and his writing style is smooth and concise. This is a very dense book; the information is packed in tightly. However, for a book on regimental history, I found it an easy read full of insight into a nation that to this day is still divided on issues that plagued them before the Civil War.

Authors: Gloria Dominic and Charles Reasoner
Average review score:

Wonderful Legend, Beautiful Illustrations + Tribal Info Too
The first part of the book is a heart-warming legend with vibrant illustrations; the second half could stand alone as a short history of the Cherokee tribe, important people & events, etc complete with photos, a map, etc. We bought it for the legend & the tribal info was a fantastic surprise; it even includes a Cherokee syllabary chart. What a great way to present literature, art, history, & anthropology!
