“This edited collection is incredibly important: Many of these essays are difficult to gain access to, even with access to top-notch research libraries. And the essays are relevant to so many fields: ethnohistory, the Native South, Cherokee studies, Native American and Indigenous studies, anthropology, Southeastern archaeology, religious studies, folklore, and American studies. This volume will introduce a new generation of scholars to the formative works that influenced so much scholarship that came after.”—Julie L. Reed, author of Serving the Nation: Cherokee Sovereignty and Social Welfare, 1800–1907
“Raymond Fogelson’s scholarly contributions merit more attention than they have received. This collection of his papers is valuable for its Cherokee content, for its contribution to ethnohistory, and as a record and legacy of a professor who influenced and supported a great many students at the University of Chicago in the various subfields of anthropology to which he contributed.”—Jennifer S. H. Brown, editor of Ojibwe Stories from the Upper Berens River: A. Irving Hallowell and Adam Bigmouth in Conversation
