Occoneechee, the Maid of the Mystic Lake

A blended volume of prose and verse that records Cherokee history, regional scenery, and traditional lore. It opens with a concise ethnographic account of origins, cultural achievements, and the tribe's forced displacement, then presents a central lyrical narrative about a maiden and her mountain lover rendered in vivid natural imagery. A subsequent section collects and retells Cherokee myths and legends in poetic and narrative forms, and the book closes with a glossary of Cherokee words. Throughout, illustrations and a short author biography underscore an intent to preserve songs, stories, and landscape for future readers.
