I did not read this; not sure where I even got it. Looks brand new. The Cherokee Nation, back in 1838, was rounded by US soldiers and forced them to leave their homes and all that they had worked for (in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina) and walk nine hundred miles to Oklahoma, where they were put into reservations. Of course thousands of the 18,000 Indians died and this "path" has since been known as the "Trail of Tears." This is the story of one man's journey along that same trail, how he comes face to face with himself, the people now living along the trail, and the "ghosts".
