I found Mooney, though sympathetic, to be patronizing and insulting toward the Cherokee, at least in his outlook. While he was 'progressive' for the time, reading the book was difficult, as one must sort the fact of Cherokee belief from Mooney's sometimes infuriating commentary.

While he was 'progressive' for the time, reading the book was difficult, as one must sort the fact of Cherokee belief from Mooney's sometimes infuriating commentary. Shira Destinie MEOW Date Monday, April 23, 12014 H.E. (Holocene Era) Probably the most important collection of Cherokee cultural material ever published, this book combines two detailed reports by ethnographer James Mooney of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology. Much of the material, including myths, historical traditions, and medicine songs, is translated from manuscripts written in the Cherokee language by elders. The historical sketch in "Myths of the Cherokees" is interesting; it reads as if compiled from the work of two different authors, one far more sympathetic to the Cherokees than the other.
