This study of Sequoyah, one of Grant Foreman's most interesting works, based largely on newly discovered source material, supplies an authentic account of this great Indian genius at a time when matter relating to his life is scattered and difficult of access.

Sequoyah is widely celebrated as an illiterate Cherokee Indian genius who, entirely from the resources of his own mind, endowed the several tribes with learning--the only man in history to conceive and perfect in its entirety an alphabet or syllabary.
