"[Dr. Emmet Starr's] work, "History of the Cherokee Indians and their legends and folklore" ..., devotes over 300 pages to Cherokee genealogy. Pages 303-476 of that book are entitled "Old families and their genealogy." This section contains the family trees of 37 prominent Cherokee families. ... it is not well know that many of his [Starr's] original notes are located at the Manuscript and Archives Division of the Oklahoma Historical Society. His notes for 21 of his 37 families are available there. ... many of the names in Starr's original records have a notation of a letter and number after their names. These notations refer to notes on those individuals. The notes are found in "letter books" using the letters A through L (excluding I). Each letter book has notes numbered 1 through 999 except for L where the notes end with number 309. ... These two volumes [v. 1 and 2] containing the "letter books" are the first in a series initiated to publish the entire genealogical tables compiled by Dr. Starr between 1892 and 1921. (volume 3, Grant family, however, was the first volume to be printed.) ..."--Foreward.

It is June first and twelve-year-old Mary does not really understand what is happening: she does not understand the hatred and greed of the white men who are forcing her Cherokee family out of their home in New Echota, Georgia, capital of the Cherokee Nation, and trying to steal what few things they are allowed to take with them, she does not understand why a soldier killed her grandfather--and she certainly does not understand how she, her sister, and her mother, are going to survive the 1000 mile trip to the lands west of the Mississippi.

With his single mother in jail, Sequoyah, a 15-year-old Cherokee boy, is placed in foster care with the Troutt family. Literally and figuratively scarred by his unstable upbringing, Sequoyah has spent years mostly keeping to himself, living with his emotions pressed deep below the surface - that is, until he meets 17-year-old Rosemary, another youth staying with the Troutts. Sequoyah and Rosemary bond over their shared Native American background and tumultuous paths through the foster care system, but as Sequoyah's feelings towards Rosemary deepen, the precariousness of their lives and the scars of their pasts threaten to undo them both.

Side by side with the westward drift of white Americans in the 1830's was the forced migration of the Five Civilized Tribes from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Both groups were deployed against the tribes of the prairies, both breaking the soil of the undeveloped hinterland. Both were striving in the years before the Civil War to found schools, churches, and towns, as well as to preserve orderly development through government and laws. In this book Grant Foreman brings to light the singular effect the westward movement of Indians had in the cultivation and settlement of the Trans-Mississippi region. It shows the Indian genius at its best and conveys the importance of the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles to the nascent culture of the plains. Their achievements between 1830 and 1860 were of vast importance in the making of America.
