Review Quotes:
"A thorough, well-presented, and important contribution to scholarship concerning the Cherokees. . . . [T]hose who presume to study Cherokee history during Ross's lifetime must consult these two volumes and must thank Moulton for having done much of the basic legwork for them."-- Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., in the Journal of American History
