About This Item
New York: Macmillan, 1970. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Textual photographs, illustrations, and maps. This superbly researched and sympathetically written study is a classic in the field of Cherokee history. Wilkins not only produced a moving biography of the influential Ridge-Watie family in the years 1790 to 1840, but also provided many new insights into white America's betrayal of the native Americans from whom it stole a continent. Signed and dated in the year of publication by Thurman Wilkins on the half-title. Brown cloth binding, with gilt stamping. Ink inscription and address stamp to the front flyleaf. The dust jacket is somewhat rubbed and edgeworn, with a bit of soiling and two small tape repairs to the rear panel; otherwise a very good copy. Signed by Author.
