Mr. Sizemore knows firsthand the how to and why of traditional Tsalagi dress. His instructions and illustrations are clear and large. The resulting garments are both utilitarian and confortable. Thank you, Don.

I think How the Turtle's back was cracked is an excellent story! I loved it when I read it. It's for people who love folktales. It actually seemed as though it could really happen. I think if you like folktales or you just like animal stories you should really read this book.

This is a great resource book for students third grade and up studying about the Cherokee Indians. Lots of information set in question/answer format. What would you eat?, What would you wear?, What would you do for fun?, etc. This book contains historical information, a timeline, a Cherokee syllabary and lots of illustrations. Well done!

Throughout times of turmoil for his people, Chief John Ross made the best of many a bad situation. From the removal of the Cherokee to Oklahoma to the fracturing of the nation during the Civil War, Ross struggled against internal and external enemies to carve out a bright future for the Cherokee people. Moulton has done a fantastic job with this biography, weaving together a compelling tale of this often misunderstood leader who faced repeated insults from political leaders in Washington and opportunistic members of his own tribe.

Jonathan Creek chronicles the adventure of a young midwife in the wilderness of the Smoky Mountains, where she is welcomed by the Cherokee Indians who believe she is a great healer sent to them by the Great Spirt.

It's a great book for young readers as well as adults of any age or gender. and experiencing the privations of the time. It's a great book for adults and youthful readers who enjoy adventure, romance, and reminiscence.

LADY IN THE MOON begins with the death of her beloved mother, Alethea's dearest friend, and it ends with the author's triumphant recovery from intractable grief. In her own inimitable style, this Cherokee mountain woman takes her readers inside a secluded cabin in the hills of Eastern Kentucky to experience a seven-year period of life as a recluse: warding off thieves and would-be rapists, living on rattlesnake and pinto beans, drowning her sorrow in moonshine whiskey, and missing her Mama with every waking breath. LADY IN THE MOON is a book reminiscent of Annie Oakley and the Wild West, but the story is as contemporary as pain and grief.

It's a great book! I couldn't put down when I started readingit. I read it in one day it was so good.

This book is about a Cherokee woman who uses plants and other things to creat her art as she was taught by her ancestors. This would be useful for a report on Cherokee art, as it has color illustrations. I would recommended this book for K through the 3rd grade, and for the teachers.

If you are interested in American Indian culture, you'll really enjoy this book. James Mooney researched and wrote this in the late 1800s just as the Cherokee culture was in danger of dying out. He recorded their myths,legends and language for posterity. A teenaged Cherokee in North Carolina told me they use this book today in their classes. He said it was an inspiring reference, and I agree. Fascinating; the "real thing." And Mooney's life was also very interesting. There is a separate biography of that "The Indian Man."
