Myths of the Cherokee

James Mooney’s Myths of the Cherokee is one of the most revered works on a Native American subject.

This publication ensures that the stories that the Cherokee elders entrusted to Mooney in the 1880s will survive for future generations to be inspired by and to enjoy. The timeless messages in the traditions and stories that have been handed down for generations hold a fascination for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
