Klappentext
Early in the twentieth century, the political humorist Will Rogers was arguably the most famous cowboy in America. And though most in his audience didn't know it, he was also the most famous Indian of his time. Throughout his adult life and his work the Oklahoma cowboy made much of his American Indian background. And in doing so, as Amy Ware suggests in this book, he made Cherokee artistry a fundamental part of American popular culture.

Zusammenfassung
The ways the Cherokee Nation's stories, arts, technologies, and history influenced the work of one of the United States' most prominent celebrities: Will Rogers (1879-1935). The Cherokee Kid makes clear that Rogers called on his Cherokee background to build an influential and multifaceted career in the United States that would affect U.S. popular culture at large.
