The Dawes Commission used these census cards for tribal enrollment, and each tribe had their own census cards. Some persons may appear on multiple cards if they were adopted by an associated tribe, as in the case of the Shawnee and Delaware who often appear on Cherokee Census cards. There are also separate cards for the Freedmen of the tribe. Entries are grouped by districts-- Canadian, Cooweescoowee, Delaware, Flint, Goingsnake, Illinois, Saline, Sequoyah, Tahlequah and Orphans. Transcribed entries include names, race, age and sex, with additional remarks by the original census takers transcribed when legible. A census column notes the 1900 Dawes census card numbers with some 1883 and 1894 entries, and indicates dead for persons that died between 1880 and 1900. Marital status is noted with yes or no. A fullname index, with surnames corrected or unified whenever possible, enhances this work.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is a tangible media product shipped via mail.

The largest of the so-called Five Civilized Tribes, which also included Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles, the Cherokees were the first tribe to have a written language, and by 1820 they had even adopted a form of government resembling that of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is a lesser known fact that there was considerably more intermarriage between Cherokees and Whites than any other tribe, so they have a genealogical significance far out of proportion to their historical numbers. There is also a great deal of genealogical data on the Cherokees, mostly in the form of census records and enrollment records. All of which is to point out the abundance of sources available to Emmet Starr when he came to pen his classic \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and Folklore\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot to diminish Mr. Starr's contribution in writing about the early Cherokees, their constitution, treaties with the federal government, land transactions, school system, migration and resettlement, committees, councils, and officials, religion, language, and culture, and a host of other topics upon which he writes eloquently, but his stated purpose in writing the \u003ci\u003eHistory\u003c\/i\u003e was \"to make it as near a personal history and biography of as many Cherokees as possible.\" And in fact more than half the book is devoted to genealogies and biographies, of which there are several hundred.

Mr. Starr, whose grandparents had settled in the Cherokee Nation \"West\" (Arkansas Country) by 1832, explained in his preface to the book that, with this volume, he strived to \"present many of the phases of Cherokee Indian history that might not be preserved and understood.\" Transcribed by Cherokee expert Jeff Bowen from a very scarce copy of the 1917 edition, \u003ci\u003eEarly History of the Cherokees\u003c\/i\u003e commences with coverage of the origin of the Cherokee name, religion and creation myths, alphabet, poetry, and related topics. The author devotes about a third of the work to verbatim descriptions of laws enacted by the Western Cherokee Council prior to the Eastern Cherokee exodus from Georgia. He has included the wording of a treaty between Texas and Texas Cherokees. Mr. Starr also devotes a great deal of space to the various missionary groups and churches that worked with the Cherokee. The book is not completely devoid of historical commentary, when one considers the discussion of the legendary 18th-century Cherokee figures Charles Hicks and Sequoyah (George Guess) and their 19th-century counterpart John Ross, as well as others.

Each Chief was given 640 acres or one square mile of land. Robert Armstrong was selected to survey the lands in Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama. Henry Lumpkin was the surveyor in Georgia. The latter's records have disappeared and there is not evidence of these surveyor that have survived. Therefore, the land records that are contained in this volume are those found in the three states surveyed by Armstrong. Included is a time table of when the land was surveyed.
