Summary
Summary
Acclaimed historians Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green paint a moving portrait of the infamous Trail of Tears. Despite protests from statesmen like Davy Crockett, Daniel Webster, and Henry Clay, a dubious 1838 treaty drives 17,000 mostly Christian Cherokee from their lush Appalachian homeland to barren plains beyond the Mississippi. For 4,000, this brutal forced march leads only to their death.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“With a rich sense of Cherokee culture and history…the authors…recount a human story, not only tragic but also unbelievably heroic.”
—Los Angeles Times
“George Wilson offers an able reading, capturing the tone of the book. He offers hints of accents when quoting first-person passages, which serve as quotation marks for the ear. Further, his variation of volume and pace keeps listeners engaged during lengthy narrative passages.”
—AudioFile
“An illuminating history, devoted to an often overlooked and long-suffering people.”
—Kirkus Reviews
