Cherokees - In War and At Peace, 16701840

In this richly detailed cultural and political history, David Narrett shows how Cherokee nationhood emerged from the pressures of colonial encounter. Cherokee diplomats-including women-take center stage, adeptly managing relationships with European empires and Indigenous rivals and in the process forging solidarities among once-disparate Cherokees.
