Emmet Starr

Compilation of History of the Cherokee Indians and Early History of the Cherokees by Emmet Starr: With Combined Full Name Index

How many hours did Dr. Starr, the student spend inside the Barnes Medical College, St. Louis? Working from dusk to dawn refining the art of healing for a people he loved, only to realize later he was primed and ready to gather his people's history and lineages that unknowingly to him would be sought after for decades after he left this mortal coil.



From first addition copies of both books, this is a compilation of the History of the Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and Folklore (1921) and Early History of the Cherokees Embracing Aboriginal Customs, Religion, Laws, Folk Lore, and Civilization (1917). It has been fully scanned or transcribed when needed with an added combined full name index (127 pages) all in one volume.



This work of two-century-old books contains detailed family histories, hundreds of Cherokee relations with important lineages, tribal offices, Cherokee culture and history with pictures; plus a RARE copy of Emmet Starr's signature confirmed by an Oklahoma archivist who had seen several of his signatures in years past.
