    “This edited collection is incredibly important: Many of these essays are difficult to gain access to, even with access to top-notch research libraries. And the essays are relevant to so many fields: ethnohistory, the Native South, Cherokee studies, Native American and Indigenous studies, anthropology, Southeastern archaeology, religious studies, folklore, and American studies. This volume will introduce a new generation of scholars to the formative works that influenced so much scholarship that came after.”—Julie L. Reed, author of Serving the Nation: Cherokee Sovereignty and Social Welfare, 1800–1907
    “Raymond Fogelson’s scholarly contributions merit more attention than they have received. This collection of his papers is valuable for its Cherokee content, for its contribution to ethnohistory, and as a record and legacy of a professor who influenced and supported a great many students at the University of Chicago in the various subfields of anthropology to which he contributed.”—Jennifer S. H. Brown, editor of Ojibwe Stories from the Upper Berens River: A. Irving Hallowell and Adam Bigmouth in Conversation

    Raymond D. Fogelson was a luminary theoretician in the interdisciplinary field of ethnohistory who advocated for Indigenous-centered theory and ethnographic writing in the field of Cherokee studies and ethnohistory. Fogelson’s unique methodology was to look for institutions that Cherokees and Native peoples themselves considered traditional and to carefully study them.

    Fogelson taught in the anthropology department at the University of Chicago and trained leading ethnohistorians of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Dedicated to his graduate students, the corpus of his influential scholarship resides in journal articles, academic presentations, and public lectures. In this essential collection, Sergei Kan and Michael E. Harkin have assembled Fogelson’s pioneering articles as a resource for ethnohistorians in the twenty-first century.
