The Memoirs of Lieut. Henry Timberlake recount the experiences of a British officer who travelled among the Cherokee and accompanied three Cherokee leaders to England in 1762. Timberlake describes the country, government, customs, and character of the Cherokee, along with the events of the delegation’s visit to London.
An important firsthand source on eighteenth-century Cherokee life and Anglo-Cherokee relations, the memoirs include observations recorded during his travels. They offer rare colonial-era testimony about Native America. This free EPUB edition presents the complete text for readers of colonial, Native American, and travel history.
