The Eastern Band of Cherokees: 1819–1900

This volume presents the story of the Eastern Band of Cherokees during the nineteenth century. This group—the tribal remnant in North Carolina that escaped removal in the 1830s—found their fortitude and resilience continually tested as they struggled with a variety of problems, including the upheavals of the Civil War and Reconstruction, internal divisiveness, white encroachment on their lands, and a poorly defined relationship with the state and federal governments. Yet despite such stresses and a selective adaptation in the face of social and economic changes, the Eastern Cherokees retained a sense of tribal identity as they stood at the threshold of the twentieth century.
