Unconquerable by John M Oskison
This biography of John Ross, the most famous principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, also tells the story of the Cherokee Nation through some of its most dramatic events in the nineteenth century.
“Unconquerable helps us understand the career and contributions of a key figure in early twentieth-century Native American literature who is too often dismissedLarré has become an authority on Oskison and his body of work, and this book further develops resources for those interested in this writer—and Cherokee and Oklahoma studies more broadly.”—Lindsey Claire Smith, author of Indians, Environment, and Identity on the Borders of American Literature: From Faulkner and Morrison to Walker and Silko
“Unconquerable is important on a number of levels. It offers a welcome Cherokee perspective on John Ross and all of the crises he helped his nation negotiate. The editor makes it even more important by virtue of the introduction, which gives readers an opportunity to engage the politics of history writing.”—Daniel M. Cobb, author of Native Activism in Cold War America: The Struggle for Sovereignty
