Lanman, Charles

Abstract:

In an excerpt from his 1848 book, Letters from the Alleghanies, Lanman discusses his view on the discovery and use of tobacco by Cherokee Native Americans. Lanman claims that Cherokees began using Tsolungh, the Cherokee word for tobacco, after encountering a man from Asia smoking the plant from a pipe.
