A History of the Cherokee Nation Volume 26 by Rachel Caroline Eaton

University of Oklahoma Press

Written shortly before her death in 1938, Rachel Caroline Eaton's A History of the Cherokee Nation is the celebrated Cherokee historian's magnum opus - and a work whose grounding in Cherokee tradition and perspective makes it unique in the annals of American history. The book spans the years from pre-contact to what Eaton feared would be the Cherokee Nation's demise after allotment and Oklahoma statehood in 1907. Its later chapters chronicle post-Civil War events that Eaton herself witnessed, from the repeated incursions into Cherokee sovereignty by railroad and timber barons, white interlopers, land speculators, and federal policy makers to the attempted dissolution of Cherokee nationhood and self-governance.\nPublished here for the first time, A History of the Cherokee Nation is at once\n\nA History of the Cherokee Nation Volume 26\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the p;
