O knihe

Excerpt from Anthropological Papers: Numbers 75-80

Very little information is available for the Eastern Cherokee from 1848 until the outbreak of the Civil War, write Fogelson and Kutsche (1961, p. A considerable amount of information has actually existed, but it has not been available to scholarship owing to its having remained in the Cherokee language, in the Sequoyah syllabary, in which it was written by the Cherokees themselves.

An imposing corpus Of these data is contained in a file of manuscripts in the archives of the Bureau of American Ethnology known as The Inoli Letters, N O. 2241-a. Many of these documents are undated, but those that bear dates establish a time range of from 1849 to 1884. The bulk of this material falls within four broad categories: (1) docu ments pertaining to the civic affairs and cultural climate of Wolftown, the easternmost of the communities of the North Carolina Cherokees, 1850 - 62; (2) documents pertaining to the participation Of the North Carolina Cherokees in the War Between the States, 1862 - 65; (3) documents pertaining to the affairs of the tribal government of the Eastern Band adopted in 1870, 1871 - 84; and (4) miscellaneous docu ments such as personal letters, reports of Christian activities, and trivia. A few Of the manuscripts, rather consistently those of small interest, are in English.
