From the cover: "The De Soto expedition was the first major encounter of Europeans with North American Indians in the eastern half of the United States. De Soto and his army of over 600 men, including 200 cavalry, spent four years traveling through what is now Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. For anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians the surviving De Soto chronicles are valued for the unique ethnological information they contain. These documents, available here in a two volume set, are the only detailed eyewitness records of the most advanced native civilization in North America—the Mississippian culture—a culture that vanished in the wake of European contact."

From the abstract: "This research is a continuation of "The Archaeological Survey of the Catawba Indian Reservation" (Kenion and May 1997)... The first objective was to define and map the physical boundaries of the cemetery, as well as the pattern of burials within the cemetery boundaries. The second goal of the project was to correlate as many individual burials as possible with historical tribal members, identifying those interred in unmarked graves or those marked with natural, non-inscribed rock... Finally, the project set about to define connections between the oldest known mortuary traditions of the Catawba and those customs used in this historic burial ground."

From the introduction: "This study was undertaken to provide the Catawba people with a better record and understanding of the cultural activities that were carried out in the Old Reservation Cemetery."

From the cover: "This unique and important study examines the lives and legacies of women who executed complex decision-making and diplomacy to navigate shifting frameworks of kinship, land ownership, and cultural production in dealings with colonial encroachments, white settlers, and Euro-American legal systems and governments from the mid-sixteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Personified in the figure of Sally New River, a Catawba cultural leader to whom 500 remaining acres of occupied tribal lands were deeded on behalf of the community in 1796 and which she managed until her death in 1821, Bauer reveals how women worked to ensure the survival of the Catawba people and their Catawba identity, an effort that resulted in a unified nation."
