The text provides a history of the Cherokee Nation from their origins and early culture through their conflicts with European settlers and eventual forced removal to Indian Territory in the 1830s.

The early chapters discuss the Cherokee's origin stories, clan structure, relationship with European powers like the Spanish and English, and important Cherokee leaders like Attakullakulla.

As European colonists expanded into Cherokee lands in South Carolina and North Carolina, the Cherokee had to contend with loss of territory, introduction of diseases, and conflicts over trade and alliances. This led to divisions among Cherokee groups and war with colonists.
