About the Author

Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.

Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.

Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the author's life, offering a poignant and personal glimpse into the tumultuous history of the Cherokee Nation during the 19th century. The author recounts his childhood in the Cherokee Nation, a time of relative peace and prosperity, before the arrival of devastating change. The Cherokee were forced to relocate westward, leaving behind their ancestral lands and traditions. This event casts a long shadow on the author's narrative, marking his family's tragedy and highlighting the brutal reality of westward expansion for Native Americans. The story culminates with the assassination of the author's father and grandfather, a pivotal moment in Cherokee history that reveals the depth of political division and the bitter consequences of forced relocation. With its powerful blend of personal and historical reflection, the book offers a unique and valuable insight into the complexities of life as a Cherokee in the 19th century.
