About this audiobook
The Cherokee are among the native tribes of the United States' Southeastern Woodlands. They resided in communities along river valleys in what's now southwestern North Carolina, southeastern Tennessee, the limits of western South Carolina, northern Georgia, and northeastern Alabama just before the 18th century.
Cherokee belongs to the Iroquoian language family. One oral legend tells of the people moving south in age-old times from the Great Lakes area, where other Iroquoian-speaking tribes were based, according to James Mooney, an early American ethnographer.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator seems pretty competent, and the author knows a lot about the topic. I do not feel you need to keep searching. This book mentions all of it. This deserved my time. Finally, a narrated book that gave me what I expected. One other thing: The narrator appeared to be so good that I would certainly listen to it again. Maybe even more than once. I cannot recall everything that's being said in these audio books, so it would be worth reminding me of what was actually being mentioned.
