Cherokee Dragon (Real People Series)

Native American author Robert J. Conley explores the life of Dragging Canoe, the last great warrior chief of the united Cherokee tribe. In the late eighteenth century, as the English settlers begin steadily encroaching upon the Cherokee lands, the Nation - divided among several towns and many chiefs - unites in a series of battles. But the united front is not one that lasts: Dragging Canoe's belief that they must fight the settlers to preserve their lands and their culture is far from universal.
