The James J. Holmberg Lecture Series – The Cherokees in War & Peace

Tickets must be reserved from our website in advance.

Sponsored by the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the General Society of Colonial Wars.

For more than 150 years, between their first encounters with the English in the 1670s and forced removal along the Trail of Tears, the Cherokees negotiated mounting pressures. At the dawn of the eighteenth century, the idea of unity among the widely dispersed Cherokees would scarcely have occurred to their leaders. Rich in detail and insight, and told through captivating personal stories, The Cherokees offers a portrait of the perseverance that built a nation. Amid an onslaught of struggle and change, the Cherokees became a people who survived against all odds.

Dr. David Narrett will participate in a thoughtful discussion with Filson leadership around his latest work and take our audience on the detailed and impactful journey of the Cherokee.
