This is a documented, capsuled, contemporary story of two outstanding Cherokee personalities. Nancy Ward was a Cherokee Chieftainess and Most Honored Woman of the Cherokee Nation. "Her cry was all for peace". Her cousin, Dragging Canoe, was Cherokee-Chickamauga War Chief. His declaration was, "We are not yet conquered". It has been necessary to reflect their careers against the backdrop of historic events which occurred during the 18th century and early decades of the 19th century, to reveal their respective roles within the Cherokee society during that period. The text is illustrated throughout, and the cover is printed in full color.
Pat Alderman had a successful career in music, and as an author his writings focused the early history of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
