A North Carolina writer pays tribute to the Cherokee in prose and verse. He opens with a brief history of the Cherokee Nation, then tells the long legend of Occoneechee, the maid of the mystic lake, and adds tribal myths such as that of the Tlanuwa, the great hawks of the mountain cave, with a vocabulary of Cherokee words.
