One fall morning in 1989, Jerry Ellis, a Cherokee descendant, set off on the adventure of a lifetime: he would walk the nine hundred mles along the Trail of Tears, following the route of his ancestors.
What ke discovred is captured in this moving story of his walk: the rich, tragic history of the Cherokee and the beauty and mystery of the trail and the people who live along it. This is a picaresque account of his trek. This book really touched me!
