5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing Documentary, November 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Cherokee Warriors, The (Paperback)

Phillip W. Steele's engaging volume documents the lives and struggles of Ned Christie and Ezekiel Proctor, who fought to preserve their Indian heritage and culture against the wave of white men and the power of the United States government.
Steele's powerfully written documentary of this turbulent era in America's history reveals the factual,specific, and somewhat obscure details of the lives of Proctor and Christie and their eventual demise. Steele has written difinitively and interestingly, weaving the facts with the emotional impact that only truth can evoke. "The Last Cherokee Warriors" is a book you will not want to put down!

This review is from: Last Cherokee Warriors, The (Paperback)

Poorly researched, poorly writen, this could have been a great book. It deals with two interesting and misrepresented characters, but in a way that sheds no new information or insight into the men or the time they lived in. A great many factual errors in the book.
