Requests:  0 Summary:  This sweeping American epic reveals the story of the century-long blood feud between two rival Cherokee chiefs from the early years of the United States. Dramatic, far-reaching, and unforgettable, this book paints a portrait of these two inspirational leaders who worked together to lift their people to the height of culture and learning as the most civilized tribe in the nation, and then drop them to the depths of ruin and despair as they turned against each other. Theirs is a story of land, pride, honour, and loss that forms much of the country's mythic past today.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.00497 Sedgwi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 975.00497 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList
