Book Reviews of Trail of Tears

Book Review: A MUST READ!!
Summary: 5 Stars


If there are only 2 books that you buy that relate to Native American history, they should be Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and THIS account of the Trail of Tears.

Two summers ago I decided to enter a t-shirt design for the Trail of Tears Commemorative Motorcycle Ride (which I won and I rode in). Before I could create a design for something so important, I decided that I should learn much more than I already knew about this HORRIBLE scar in our countries history.

As I talked to people, this book kept coming up, so I bought it. As soon as I opened it, I was pulled into the story- I couldn't put it down.

The title, while fitting, is a little misleading because the author doesn't just cover the journeys of the 5 nations that became known as the Trail of Tears - And that is definitely a great thing. The book begins well before the removal and covers many of the events that led up to it, thereby giving the reader a much better understanding of the how's and why's. It also covers the Cherokee political struggle in the US capital, trying to stop the removal from happening.

It's a sad story and has no happy ending, but it is something that everyone should read.

BTW- I'm not sure what "Eagles Soar" was reviewing...it didn't sound like it was this book though.
