The Cherokee nation faces a grave threat from the U.S. government. Ned Christie owed all Cherokees living or dead, and those yet to come, a heritage. And he wanted to bring this about peacefully in Council sessions. But Ned hadn't counted on Deputy Marshall Dan Maples getting shot, and his becoming the main suspect.

A moving portrayal of a Cherokee folk hero.,
By shewmake@parod.com (Soldier, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ned Christie's War: Ned Christie's War (Mass Market Paperback)
What a shame that this gem of a book never received the undeserved attention bestowed upon Larry McMurty's & Diana Ossana'a monstrosity (that shall go un-named here). Conley's account of Ned Christie's experience with white man's law tells the story of a thoughtful and respected Cherokee leader who made the best of an impossible situation by letting his enemies "know that they had been in a fight."
