they decided to use Sequoyah's alphabet, and now the Cherokee Indian language is preserved for future generations. > >Interesting, I didn't know about this. And I believe you.. you are no >kidding.. Smile! > >Lourdes _________________________ Yes...I have two small books on Sequoyah's history here - I found the Cherokee Web Site several years ago, and then I ordered the history of his life and his writing system - They even have developed a computer program for typing Sequoyah's alphabet :-) Anyway, for those interested, one book is entitled "Sequoyah" by E. L. Gilmore, and the other book is entitled "The Cherokee Genius" by Stan Hoig. Both books are very rare and have to be ordered specially from the Cherokee Indian museum, or the Oklahoma Historical Society.
