Product Description
In 1838, Federal troops imprisoned 13,000 Cherokees in preparation for their removal from their native lands in the southeastern United States to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). The removal of the Cherokees lasted two years and resulted in more than 5,000 deaths. This new trade paperback edition of Cherokee Trail of Tears has an insightful and informative text by Duane King discussing the six major routes of the trail and the seventeen Cherokee detachments that were pushed westward into Oklahoma. It also includes first person accounts and journal excerpts from those who traveled with the Cherokee. In 32 pages of color photographs, a touching and memorable photo-essay by David Fitzgerald looks at the major landmarks of the trail in nine states, as they appear today.
