This bibliography attempts complete coverage of manuscript collections
on the Cherokee in the Northeastern portion of the U.S.--Chicago and
Madison east to Philadelphia. Its annotations list most names of people,
whether Cherokee or non-Cherokee, mentioned in the annotated documents,
and most place names, making a particular attempt to annotate and index
the more obscure people and places. The author has given particular
attention to compiling a thorough index in order to help researchers to
discover quickly which libraries contain materials on their topics.
Index entries run five to twenty per document, for a total of 6,257
documents.
