5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book for those researching their Cherokee roots., December 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: History of the Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and Folk Lore (Hardcover)

This is an excellent refrence book for those researching their Cherokee ancestry. It contains the family pedigree's of the Old Settlers, e.g. those Cherokee's who arrived in Indian Territory (Oklahoma)prior to the Trail Tears including some who arrived later. A number of family histories are also included. Because Emmet Starr obtained most of his information from personal interviews with descendants, there are some errors, however the work is invaluable as a genealogy research tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genealogy research is excellent, February 20, 1999

This review is from: History of the Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and Folk Lore (Hardcover)

For anyone looking for Cherokee family connections, this is a good place to start. The historical facts are not in chronological order, and can be confusing however.

Good geneological information, great photographs. This book provides great insight into Cherokee perspectives at the early half of the 20th century.
