Sequoyah

 Here's a story I didn't know at all!  How Sequoyah made up a system of writing for his Cherokee people in the early 1800's.  It's a fascinating story that James Rumford encourages further exploration into.   Anna Sixkiller Huckaby provides the Cherokee translations on each page and a syllabary at the end.  I love these fascinating parts of history that have such impact but are often overlooked or forgotten.   More books like this, please!
