MeadorEarth Mother Crying: Encyclopedia of Prophecies of Peoples of the Western Hemisphere; The Cherokee Nation in the Civil War; The Cherokee Nation: A History; Walking on the Wind: Cherokee Teachings for Harmony and Balance and Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation were originally purchased as a gift for a friend who is Cherokee/Choctaw. After the books arrived and I perused the book jackets I decided to buy additional copies for myself. I have not read these books yet but I'm sure I will be very happy with them based on other reviews. I think it's very important to know where we all came from and how this country came to where it is today. And; while the wrongdoings of the past cannot be undone I believe it's important to understand them and how such things happened; to understand the contributions of Native Americans to our culture and how they served this nation that did not always serve them.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. The Cherokee Nation in the Civil WarBy CarolynA well researched and beautifully written account of a time in history that usually finds its focus elsewhere. The devastating effects the Civil War had on our Native Nations is sadly overlooked in our study of American History. Ms. Confer does an outstanding job of bringing it to life for us in an interesting and readable work. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from her.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Christine R KingWell written and informative.
