Stanley W. Hoig, a journalist by training, has published many books about the West and the American Indian. Most would be considered "trade" rather than "academic" contributions. This narrative account is of a similar nature, as it follows the lives of the various "Cherokee Chiefs" who led these Indians, starting with European contact and proceeding into the twentieth century. There is an inordinate amount of information on warfare and war chiefs, as Hoig examines the various conflicts that affected the Cherokees, from the French and Indian War through the Revolution and into the period of removal and the American Civil War. |
