 The Cherokee alphabet, or more i)roperly 

 speaking tho Cherokee syllabary, was invented 

 .about the \ear 1821 by Se-f^uoyah, a half-breed 

 <jh(!rokee, better known by bis English name 

 (.f George Guess. Tho earliest account of it 

 apjiears as an extract from a report of tlio pru- 

 dential committee, in the Missionary Herald, 

 February, 182G, pp. 47-49: 



" A form of alphabetical wilting, invented 

 by a Cherokee named George Guess, who does 

 not speak English, and was never taught to 

 read Englisli books, is attracting great notice 

 :'.moug tbo iieoplo generally. Having become 

 acquainted with tho principle of tho alphabet, 

 viz., that marks can bo made tho symbol of 

 Ho.md, this nuinstructed nnn conceived the 

 nolion that he could express all the syllables 

 in tho Cherokee language by separate marks 

 or characters. On collecting all the syllables 

 which, after long study and trial, ho could 

 recall to his memory, ho fouud tho number to 

 bj, eighty-two. In order to express these, ho 

 took the letters of o;ir alphabet for a part of 

 them, and vaiious modiliMtions of our letters, 

 with some characters of his own invention, for 

 tlio rest. With these symbols bo set about 

 v.-ritingletters; and verysoim a correspondence 

 was actually maintained brtwe u tho Chero- 

 ki'cs in "Wills Y:illey and their countrymen be- 

 yond tbo ilississippi, 500 miles apart. This 

 was done by individuals wiu) could not speak 

 English, and who had never learned any alpha- 

 bet except this syllabic one, M'hicb Guess had 

 invented, taught to others, and introduced into 

 practice. Tho interest in this matter has been 

 incre:ising for tlio last two years, till at length 

 young Cherokees travel a gre:il distance to bi^ 

 instructed iu this easy method of writing and 

 reading. In three days they are able to com- 

 nu'uco letter-writing, and return homo to their 

 native villages prepared to teach others. * * "
