Oh well I lost my message somewhere. Wow I guess I will be doing alot of reading. Thanks you guys. I just read The Life and Times of Stephen Foreman by Cooleela Faulkner. He was Cherokee , a preacher and many other things. He told alot about how hard it was on the families during the Civil War in I.T. I read BloodMoon at Cabin Creek by Atkinson and I really liked it. Today I started Rifles for Watie by Keith. I would love to visit the Battle Fields where the southern Cherokees fought. Thanks for all your help.
