2 My first book explored how ideas about social welfare changed over time within the Cherokee Nation, which culminated in the Cherokee Nation’s adoption of universal public education in 1841; its female and male seminaries; and in the post-Civil War period, its prison, mental health facility, and orphanage. For a full discussion of the orphanage, the mental health facility, and the prison, see Reed, Julie L., Serving the Nation: Cherokee Sovereignty and Social Welfare, 1800–1907 (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2016).Google Scholar
