Abstract:

In 1820, more than 7,000 Cherokee Indians lived in the North Carolina Mountains. In 1838, most of the Cherokee in the southeastern United States were rounded up by the United States government and removed to Oklahoma, and Duncan describes what their life was like before it was disrupted.
