North Carolina, USA (AP): In writing the follow-up to his best-selling debut ''Cold Mountain,'' novelist Charles Frazier borrowed the history of the Cherokee Indians and their forced removal from the mountains of his native western North Carolina for the setting of ''Thirteen Moons.'' As a way of giving back to the Eastern Band of Cherokees, Frazier is translating a portion of the novel and other books into the Cherokee language. They will be the first contemporary works translated into the tribal tongue in 175 years.
