Reviews
On Sep 11 2007, Oscarini said:
Even though I found some factual errors, I feel this book was still worth reading. It contains descriptions of daily life that can only be known if one lives among natives as Mr. Mails did.

You may not recognize the name Thomas E. Mails, but you are sure to recognize his Native American drawings and paintings that illustrate this book. This book covers the Cherokee tribe from its earliest origins to the present.
