For the most part the book is based on National Archives&nbsp;microfilm series M-595 roll #22; however this expanded edition includes 84&nbsp;pages of census transcriptions that are indecipherable on the microfilm.

Individuals enumerated in the successive&nbsp;censuses&nbsp;are descendants of the Cherokees who were not removed to Indian&nbsp;Territory during the period 1838-1839 in the migration known as the Trail of&nbsp;Tears. Mr. Bowen has&nbsp;transcribed each census in chronological order and&nbsp;thereunder by household membership. While there is sometimes additional data&nbsp;information provided in&nbsp;the census almost invariably gives the individual's&nbsp;name family relationship&nbsp;age and sex--information that is critical in any&nbsp;genealogical research. The complete name index at the back of the volume refers&nbsp;to about 9000 Eastern Cherokee who lived on the Qualla Boundary between 1898&nbsp;and 1914.
