  • -i1—i'-i'-i'-i'—i1-!'—i ^i^n^^i Unto These Hills WHAT THE CRITICS SAY . . . Alfred Mynders in 'The Chattanooga Times"— ". . . the most resounding hit in the history of outdoor historical drama . . . the most satisfying and inspiring vacation experience to be found anywhere in America today." Don Shoemaker in "The Asheville (N.C.) Citizen"— "UNTO THESE HILLS is good—even great . . . will probably be standing long after South Pacific (the Broadway hit) is again better known as an ocean." John Gassner, famous New York critic— "an event rather than a mere performance ... an ideal realization of a long cherished dream of national American drama." The tragic, triumphant, gay and moving drama of the Cherokee is really the story of Tsali, a simple nobody who made history by the merest accident. And the story of Tsali is the story of the proud and once powerful Cherokee. The Cherokee story looms in this country's heritage as a great lesson. In a world unable to reconcile differences between races, nations, and the hemispheres, it takes on vast meaning. Its echoes resound over present day conflicts. On the broad canvas of history it stands out as a great lesson, speaking with Biblical simplicity of things close to men's hearts. m It had its beginning in 1540 with the coming of De Soto, first white man to visit the Cherokee. It had its climax in 1838 with the forced removal of all but a remnant of the Cherokee to strange lands in the west and in the death of Tsali, who gave his life so a handful of his people might forever live in the land of their birth. Kermit Hunter, the successful author of UNTO THESE HILLS, dug deep into neglected archives to capture the moving story. Harry Davis, the veteran producer and director of the Playmakers, brought it to life, recreating this forgotten page of history in the land where it was written in human suffering and heartache, deceit and greed.
