Of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians the Cherokees were early recognized as the greatest and the most civilized. Indeed, between 1540 and 1906 they reached a higher peak of civilization than any other North American Indian tribe. They invented a syllabary and developed an intricate government, including a system of courts of law. They published their own newspaper in both Cherokee and English and became noted as orators and statesmen.

At the beginning the Cherokees’ conquest of civilization was agonizingly slow and uncertain. Warlords of the southern Appalachian Highlands, they were loath to expend their energies elsewhere. In the words of a British officer, "They are like the Devil’s pigg, they will neither lead nor drive."

But, led or driven, the warlike and willful Cherokees, lingering in the Stone Age by choice at the turn of the eighteenth century, were forced by circumstances to transfer their concentration on war to problems posed by the white man. To cope with these unwelcome problems, they had to turn from the conquests of war to the conquest of civilization.

This was a well written book and provided some information that we were not aware of and items to research. The book cover also shows an African American carring items which prompted us to research the relationship between the Cherokee and African American people during the Trail of Tears. It is always good when you see or read something that prompts you to find answers too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read for the history buff

As an Okie with Cherokee heritage, I couldn't resist the temptation to explore the book after reading the teaser that was provided with the title. Turns out that it was an awesome and enlightening journey through the history of the Cherokee people and their journey of many terrible years of being lied to and taken advantage of by the government and encroaching settlers. This book and others has really awakened me to the unjust situation that those people endured, and should be recommended reading for every American, it's well worth the small price and will sure keep your interest.
