These Almanacs are expressed, chiefly, in the Cherokee character, while
they denote its further adaptation to the language of astronomy, and
give some facts of value in the local history and progress of this
tribe; as such, they are, with No. 80, valuable elements of information.

pages. Park Hill, Arkansas Mission Press, A. B. C. F. M., A. D. 1844.
This is a substantially bound volume, consisting of the Gospels, Acts,
Epistles of Paul to Timothy, and select passages of Scripture, Hymns,
&c., forming a kind of Scripture miscellany of much value.

The progress of primary education, among this people, may be inferred
from this tract.
