The Moravian Springplace Mission to the Cherokees (2-volume set) (Indians of the Southeast)

Description:

This book is a transcription of the records of the German Baptist (Moravian) Missionaries who ministered among the Cherokees in early times, prior to the Trail of Tears and the forced removal of most of the tribe to the Indian Territory of what is now the State of Oklahoma. Of value to anyone interested in the history and culture of the Cherokee Nation of Indians or the history of southeastern United States. In particular the states of North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Georgia. Some family history (genealogy) records are referenced in connection to Cherokees local to the area who attended their church or worked with them on the mission property. An invaluable resource that has been a a century and a half in coming, since they were written in German, and maintained by the Church, and not generally available to the public.
