A particularly interesting and very short daily book excerpt from Delaney Place this morning about Sequoyah detailing how an illiterate blacksmith single handedly developed the Cherokee alphabet. I’ve long been aware of the fact but wondered about the thinking process of developing up a thing. https://delanceyplace.com/index.php
I don’t know how widely that fact is known. His cabin is only a few miles from me so it may be regional knowledge. The excerpt is from Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies.
