Reviews

Many books have attempted to trace the history of these remarkable Indians; but nearly all, even those that express the opposite aim, have been restricted to their external relations, to what was done to the Cherokees. This one tells the story from the inside. . . . [Malone] has become familiar with sources never explored before. . . . His research is a model of completeness.
