The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"The book starts with a runner panting his way from his home village to challenge the chiefs of another to a ball game. There are several chapters on customs—marriage arrangements, nature rites, hunting, the function of shamans, and the ball game itself.
The great Sequoya set Cherokee down as a written language; the days of John Ross, the first president of the Cherokee Nation, saw the forming of their own constitution, but by mid-nineteenth century, there were battles for independence tragically lost and a forced migration to the west. We recommend this splendid series not to be overlooked as important steps to an inner understanding of Indian ways." — Virginia Kirkus.
