The Cherokees : in war and at peace, 1670-1840 / David Narrett.
"In this richly detailed cultural and political history, David Narrett shows how Cherokee nationhood emerged from the pressures of colonial encounter. Cherokee diplomats - primarily women - take center stage, adeptly managing relationships with European empires and Indigenous rivals and in the process forging solidarities among once-disparate Cherokees."-- Provided by publisher.
