What People are Saying About This
These rich and deeply delightful stories—both ancient and recent—are a great gift from a group of masterful tellers."—Charles Frazier, author of Thirteen Moons and Cold Mountain
Will have a profound influence on future publications of collections of oral history as well as those of contemporary storytellers."—Thomas Rain Crowe, Wild Mountain Times
This book is so needed in the storytelling world because it provides the 'real' stories from Cherokee culture and not just interpretations."—Connie Regan-Blake, storyteller
Through the years, these legends have grown and changed and become contemporary along with Cherokee people. You may have heard these legends on cassette tape. Soon you may hear them via computer, and in the next millennium we can only guess the media through which you will experience these stories. The critical message is that the stories continue. . . . The voices you hear are those of my friends and neighbors, and now they become yours."—from the foreword by Joyce Conseen Dugan, Former Principal Chief, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
