When young brothers Gene and Jack moved in with their grandparents
in 1950, they didn't realize then the impact that Grandpa Will and
Grandma Ida would have on their lives. Life in rural Dallas Hollow,
Tennessee, was not always easy, but it was one filled with love,
laughter, and life lessons learned. In this memoir, Cherokee Lost,
author Gene Guthrie shares a glimpse of life with his elders.
While living with their grandparents, they learned of their
grandfather's Cherokee Indian heritage. He taught them to survive
and to take care of Mother Earth. He introduced them to timber
cutting, hunting, fishing, and the art of blacksmithing. Grandma
Ida showed them how to garden, pick berries, can fruits and
vegetables, and dry apples.
During the twelve years they lived with their grandparents,
Gene and Jack learned much more than physical chores; they learned
respect, pride, and how to laugh and enjoy life. They grew to
appreciate Grandpa Will's Indian heritage and spirit. Through the
words and actions of Grandpa Will, Cherokee Lost provides a tribute
to the rural life of the south and the Native American outlook on
life.
