Cherokee History and the Spirit Family
Available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Indie Bound books.
This Cherokee history from the mid-1700s to the early 1900s is grounded on my great-great grandmother Annie Spirit’s life from 1826 to 1910, and the lives of her ancestors, aunts and uncles, siblings, children and grandchildren. Illustrated with maps, paintings and photographs and supported by original documents, it tracks the rise and fall of the Cherokee Nation and the Spirit family.
