"The Cherokee Nation of Indians" by Charles C. Royce is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work meticulously examines the official relations between the Cherokee Nation and colonial as well as federal governments, detailing the various treaties and land cessions that occurred over time. The book aims to provide comprehensive insights into the political, social, and territorial evolution of the Cherokee experience as they navigated their interactions with governmental powers throughout history. The opening of the text introduces an extensive historical atlas focused on Indian affairs, highlighting the aim of mapping out Cherokee territory and cessions over time. It outlines the rich history of the Cherokee Nation, including significant treaties and events that shaped their relations with colonial and federal authorities. Early mentions of Cherokee territory and their interactions with European settlers are presented, including the historical context surrounding land treaties and the diplomatic maneuvers that the Cherokee Nation engaged in to protect their interests.
