James Mooney was an American ethnographer and folklorist who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his extensive work on Native American cultures, particularly the Cherokee. Mooney conducted fieldwork and research on the Cherokee people and their mythology, resulting in several important publications, including "Myths of the Cherokee." The book may not have that specific title, but Mooney's work on Cherokee mythology is well-documented.

In his writings, Mooney documented the myths, legends, and oral traditions of the Cherokee people, providing valuable insights into their religious beliefs, cosmology, and cultural heritage. He collected and recorded stories about the creation of the world, the adventures of legendary figures, the origins of important rituals, and the interactions between humans and the spiritual world.

Mooney's work helped preserve and make accessible the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the Cherokee people. It remains an important resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in Native American studies, folklore, and mythology.
