Excerpt from A Life of Travels and Researches in North America and South Europe: Or Outlines of the Life, Travels and Researches These outlines of my life and travels, are abridged from my memoirs, and journals of travels, begun to be written since 1796. They are chiefly a translation from a sketch of my travels written in French in 1833 and sent to France, to my only sister Mrs. G. Lanthois of Bordeaux. The style therefore is rather familiar and neglected. I regret the egotic form of it, and should have wished to have changed it to a recital in the third person, but this would have caused another objection. Thus it is given nearly as a plain translation, with the addition of the travels of 1834 and 1835, and some trifling alterations. The whole may be deemed an introduction to my works, particularly to any ulterior accounts of my travels, personal observations, and private memoirs. It is not a mere biographical sketch, but contains many facts, remarks and details chiefly in the latest travels - such sketches are dedicated to the small number of friends, who have been able to appreciate my zeal and labors, in the vast field of historical and natural knowledge.

Most histories of the Cherokee nation focus on its encounters with Europeans, its conflicts with the U. S. government, and its expulsion from its lands during the Trail of Tears. This work, however, traces the origins of the Cherokee people to the third century B.C.E. and follows their migrations through the Americas to their homeland in the lower Appalachian Mountains. Using a combination of DNA analysis, historical research, and classical philology, it uncovers the Jewish and Eastern Mediterranean ancestry of the Cherokee and reveals that they originally spoke Greek before adopting the Iroquoian language of their Haudenosaunee allies while the two nations dwelt together in the Ohio Valley.
