"Footsteps of the Cherokees" divides the Cherokee's eastern homeland into nineteen geographical sections and explores many of the historic Cherokee sites in these areas. Sites range from Moccasin Bend in Chattanooga, inhabited by Cherokees and earlier Indian cultures and considered one of the most important archaeological complexes located within a United States city, to the Qualla Boundary, the home of the Eastern Cherokee reservation where visitors can still experience the historic Cherokee culture. For each site, Vicki Rozema gives the historical background, directions to the site, and the hours of operation and telephone numbers if the site is located within a park or museum area. The book also includes an overview of Cherokee history--setting the stage for the tours of the historic sites.

Because this book is also a photographic guide, Rozema includes over 150 black-and-white photographs--giving you a feel for the historic sites and a hint of what's in store when you visit them yourself.

Written for both the traveler and those interested in learning about the Cherokee people, this guide provides a fascinating look at the many places that played a role in the rich history of these Native Americans.
