Provides the first complete history of an American Indian tribe in the colonial period. Although much has been written of the Spanish, French, and British explorations in North America in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, little has been known of the Indian tribes that explorers such as De Soto and De Luna encountered.

This realistic picture of Indian intrigue reveals the influence of intratribal conflict on colonial history - demonstrating that the Cherokees' own problems were more significant than European pressure in shaping events.
