We suggest that you click on the Index button above. That will open up a useful starting place with partial lists of the many place names in the blog. There are links to specific sections containing a given group of names so that you can quickly locate information about each one. Note that there is also a “Search” function on the upper left of this and other pages. You can use it to search this site for any word you wish. [Unfortunately, for the mobile version, one must scroll all the way to the bottom of a section to find the search function. The search function on the mobile version can be most quickly located by going to the Index section or the About section. They are much shorter than the Home section, and you will be able to scroll very quickly to the bottom of each of them to find the search button. Any search button you find anywhere on the site will search the entire site.]
You may also find the About section worth browsing. It contains links to a number of interesting external sites, including spoken Cherokee samples and Amazing Grace sung in Cherokee. Your comments are always welcome. We send a special greeting to the Rabun County [GA] Historical Society. They seem to have one of the best organized county historical websites in the old Cherokee country.
To make the content of this blog more widely available, the materials in it have been reorganized, extended, and provided with more illustrations and maps to create a Kindle version, which can be read on any tablet or computer with an installed Kindle reader. The e-book has a table of contents with hyperlinks to the chapters and a list of illustrations, also with links. There are a few internal links for cross-references, and there are external links for additional reading and research. There is an extensive index, but the items in the index do not have links because many items occur in more than one place. Searching from the index can be done with the normal Kindle or other reader’s search function. The illustrations are in full color when a color-enabled e-reader is used. The book, now in its second expanded and enlarged edition [as of 23 February 2013], can be found at this link on Amazon. It is speech-enabled, and I am impressed with how much that technology has advanced. The voices are no longer robot-like and they generally pronounce English words and sentences quite well. However, the pronunciation of Cherokee words is less than perfect, as would be expected. [Note that the Eastern Cherokee Treaty Signers pages are not included in the book.] [The price has been set at $2.99.] Thank you for your interest in Cherokee Place Names.
