Books of the Cherokee
Cherokee Calling - Al Herrin
If you're interested in Cherokee culture, Spiritual beliefs, Living closer to nature, and ghost stories, then you should have this book.
"During many philosophical discussions with Al Herrin, I gained a new appreciation of traditional Native American worship. To me, my personal Christian God and the God of the ancient Cherokees are one and the same. His book is a pleasure to read. It is my sincere belief that all who read this book will develop a deeper understanding of the Cherokee Way and will, without a doubt, experience a lasting impact on their spiritual lives."

Dr. James "Tali Tsisdu" Miller

Cherokee Calling
Cherokee Bows & Arrows - Al Herrin
A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Al Herrin has preserved the "how to" of a disappearing art form; the making of traditional Cherokee bows and arrows. In easy steps, the reader is carried through the process; from finding the proper kinds of wood to the finished products. No fancy equipment is required - just hand tools and time. The hunters among us are challenged to "even the odds" between the hunter and the hunted and rediscover the "romance" of hunting as the early Indians hunted.
