"The Cherokees: A Population History" is the first full-length
demographic study of an American Indian group from the
protohistorical period to the present. Thornton shows the effects
of disease, warfare, genocide, miscegenation, removal and
relocation, and destruction of traditional lifeways on the
Cherokees. He discusses their mysterious origins, their first
contact with Europeans (prob-ably in 1540), and their fluctuation
in population during the eighteenth century, when the Old World
brought them smallpox. The toll taken by massive relocations in the
following century, most notably the removal of the Cherokees from
the Southeast to In-dian Territory, and by warfare, predating the
American Revolution and including the Civil War, also enters into
Thornton's calculations. He goes on to measure the resurgence of
the Cherokees in the twentieth century, focusing on such population
centers as North Carolina, Oklahoma, and California.
