Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Drawing upon archaeological findings and historical records, this book investigates the pre-Columbian era of the Cherokee people, a Native American tribe historically residing in the Southeastern United States. The author traces the tribe's roots to the Ohio Valley, using evidence such as oral traditions and archaeological similarities. By examining artifacts like engraved shells and soapstone pipes found in burial mounds, the book connects these ancient remains to the Cherokees, providing insights into their customs and beliefs. The author also explores linguistic and geographic data to support the theory that the tribe migrated southeastward over centuries, eventually settling in their historic Appalachian homelands. This book offers a unique perspective on the Cherokees' rich history, shedding light on their origins and cultural practices before European contact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
