I thought this book was a little slow moving when I started it. It reads like a history book sometimes. However, I stuck with it and was absolutely astounded. I thought I knew the history of the Trail of Tears, but this book went into the details of what the Cherokee people had done to "settle" their land and create their own government before Andrew Jackson signed their removal orders. I've since seen a documentary of the same. This should be mandatory reading for high school English or history classes. Americans should be required to know what the Native peoples in this continent went through in the name of western expansion. I could not put the book down and I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the realities the Native American faced when this country was established.
