Description
Many books have been written about Ned Christie; some portray him as an outlaw, some as a hero. But all focus on the 'killing' of Ned Christie, not what he stood for, what issues were going on at the time in the Cherokee Nation, and what made him a threat to the U.S. Government, New York syndicates and assimilated Cherokees. While this book recounts the life and death of Christie, it also takes a look at the times he lived in, and why his outspoken personality was so threatening. Also re-examined are the circumstances around his frame-up, arrest warrants, and effects upon his family and friends.
