""John Ross and the Cherokee Indians"" is a historical book written by Rachel Caroline Eaton. The book chronicles the life and struggles of John Ross, a Cherokee Indian chief who fought to preserve the rights and sovereignty of his people amidst the encroachment of white settlers in the 19th century.
