Chief James Vann - Cherokee Patriot

By James W. ( Buddy ) Bell. James Vann's life ( 1765 - 1809 ) was shrouded in mystery and controversy. Born to a white father and a Cherokee mother, his half-blood nature suffered from the conflicts inherent in these two ethnic worlds. Realizing that to be able to survive in his world, he would have to adapt to the ways of the white man and to live and think as a white man. But at the same time, he felt compelled to follow the way of his ancient tribal heritage. One historian refers to him as "a peculiar combination of benevolent leader and rip-snorting hoodlum". Another called him "one of the most intemperate characters in the nation, captious, irresponsible, homicidal, a thoroughly godless man, who when drunk becomes as deadly as a water moccasin". Soft Cover, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 99 pages. More Info
