Comments from the slip cover flap

“Originally published in 1940, this portrait of the Indians of North and South Carolina has become a classic.  It is now reprinted not only because it is still the most complete book on the subject, but also because the author, Chapman J. Milling, a practicing physician in Columbia, South Carolina, has an easy, natural eloquence in his style that makes his writing durable.  Sixteen pages of half-tone illustrations are included.”  

“Writing in the Macon Telegraph, Charles C. Harrold said of the first edition of this book, ‘it should be in every school library in the Southeast.’”

“This is an exceptionally worthy book of a long neglected subject, , , ,  Dr. Milling’s scholarly work is a real contribution to frontier history and it is a ‘must’ for every library of American history.”  Richard C. Madden in the Catholic Historical Review”

“South Carolinians now have an authentic and readable account of the Indians of their state and ethnologists and historians interested in the region, a text they will want to have always at hand.  John R. Swanson in the American Anthropologist.”

“ , , ,  combines the sympathetic perception of the psychiatrist, the sensitive approach of the poet, the keen interest of the folklorist, and the painstaking detail of the historian. . . . with the gifts of the trained writer whose style is easy pungent and lightened by flashes of humor.  Nell Flinn Gilland in the Richmond Times-Dispatch.”
