Finding the Treasures Left Along the Trail My Cherokee Heritage (Paperback)

Paperback. Iris became a member of the Cherokee Nation in 1995, which intensified her desire to learn more about her Native American heritage. "Finding the Treasures Left Along the Trail" has been exciting, and learning of the numerous important individuals that contributed so much to early American history has been incredible! "Finding the Treasures Left Along the Trail - My Cherokee Heritage" presents a historical account of significant contributions made by a family with roots in Europe and in the Cherokee Nation here in America. The book discloses information seldom taught in American history classes in our public schools, and sheds a very different view of the Native American society and its major influence on settlement and development of the United States of America. Even our egalitarian democracy came from the Native American (Iroquois) form of government. You will read stories of family members educated as attorneys, a member raised to the rank of General in the Civil War, and numerous individuals elected to lead the Nation as Principle Chiefs. The Carpenters from Devonshire, England, first arrived on the North American Continent in 1627, and the incredible journey begins! This item is printed on demand.
