This book is a narrative account of intrusion by non-citizens upon the land of the Cherokee tribe in the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. Until this time no comprehensive history of this overwhelming invasion of the Indian country by thousands of white and black citizens of the United States has been written. Other histories of these tribes have only casually mentioned the unwelcome residents although intrusion was a common problem of all Five Civilized Tribes, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole and Cherokee. Prior to the Civil War there was little trespass upon the Cherokee domain.

"On the sideluine or in the game" speaks to the need of our children for guidance and urges adults to accept the responsibility of raising their children as opposed to letting television shows such as MTV and BET do their job. It touches on issues about game life and how gangs have pulled our children away from families often because the gangs offer more of a family structure than their home life. He believes it really does take a village to raise a child. The author attemps to drive home the point that a college education is not free and that going to college is a previlege, not a right. Parents and students must realize that the cost of a college education often requires great financial sacrifices. Dr. Smith believes that college is affordable if people are willing to make a commitment and points out methods for saving money to pay for college expenses, in an unique chapter titled "Financial Planning for a College Education."
