1904, August - Indians Have Able Historians
"Among the more prominent Indian writers of the Cherokee nation are Dr. Emmet Starr, who is writing a book, "The Genealogy of the Thirteen Original Cherokee Families;" Mrs. Narcissa Owen,, who is collecting the legends of the Indians, and Mrs. Josephine Hall, who is writing "The History of the Cherokee Nation."
Adam Lacy, is the author of several books upon political subjects, and is recognized as an authority among the Indians. So also is Drift Hummingbird, who, as his name indicates, is of a poetic disposition. Wolf Coon is another of the prolific writers. He has written upon a large number of subjects. A prominent man in newspaper work among the Indians is Augustus E. Ivey who is known also to the pale faced world.
Ivey is a poet of no small reputation. Sequichie is another fine example of the Indian writer. He is probably a more prolific writer than any other living Indian. He was written many books on the subject of government. He has written criticisms upon the systems in vogue in the United States and his comments have met with federal approval. He has written the code of laws adopted and followed by the Cherokee nation. But he has not confined himself solely to serious topics. He is also a romancer and a poet.
