About the Author
"James Mooney's" main interest of study was the Cherokee people. Many say that Mooney wrote the most accurate accounts of the Cherokee culture and history. He spent years living with the Cherokee people in North Carolina, and was able to gain their acceptance and trust, which allowed him to write more firsthand accounts. This made his work more reliable and very accurate.Mooney was a member of the first generation of professional anthropologists; he left behind a wealth of ethnographical and historical data.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Cherokee medicine and its intricate relationship with their spiritual beliefs. Based on a rediscovered manuscript compiled by a Cherokee medicine man in the late 19th century, it offers a rare glimpse into their understanding of disease and healing. The author meticulously analyzes the manuscript's sacred formulas and medicinal prescriptions, revealing a complex system of knowledge where illness is not merely a physical affliction but a manifestation of spiritual imbalance. The text sheds light on the role of spirits, dreams, and taboos in causing disease, and how the medicine man, through rituals and herbal remedies, seeks to restore harmony and cure the patient. This book goes beyond simply documenting medicinal practices. It explores the philosophical underpinnings of Cherokee medicine, their views on life and death, and the ethical code that guides the medicine man's profession. By immersing us in this rich cultural context, the author allows us to appreciate the profound significance of healing within the Cherokee worldview. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful testament to the enduring wisdom and resilience of indigenous knowledge systems, reminding us of the diverse ways humans have sought to understand and navigate the complexities of health and well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Reprint. A very crisp and clean used copy; almost new and unread condition; gift quality! Blue and tan wrapper with black and gold lettering. 319 very clean unmarked and uncreased informative and educational pages! "Cherokee manuscripts and material on the Cherokee language have a most uncanny propensity to get lost. The 'dictionary' of Christian Priber has never been heard of since it reached Frederica, Ga., probably in 1741. The bulky material of the Rev. S. A. Worcester, including a grammar and a dictionary, went down on the Arkansas about 1830. The manuscript contributions to Cherokee linguistics by Col. W. H. Thomas have 'unfortunately (been) mislaid.' The manuscript of John Pickering's grammar of the Cherokee language, the printing of which was interfered with, or was thought to have been interfered with, by the invention of the Sequoya syllabary, has never been found." --- from the Introduction.
