Annotation: Until now, little has been written of the Middle Settlement Cherokees of the Qualla Boundary, the Cherokees of the Great Smoky Mountains. These descendants of the "Principal People" now come to life in stories and lore passed down through generations.

Author Middleton, who gleaned many of these tales from his Cherokee grandmother, speculates about the very origins of the race and traces Cherokee history through the twentieth century. "Traditions and myths are windows into faraway times, " says Middleton, and he has carefully woven superstitions, sayings, and tales of the Middle Settlement people throughout his writing.

Descendants of this renegade tribe who resisted the Native American roundup prior to the Trail of Tears now occupy about 90 square miles that lie on the southerly slope of the Great Smoky Mountains. Through these fascinating stories, readers can learn more about this tribe that refused to be run off from their Kit-Yawa -- their "God-given" homeland.
