About
Details
Michael Burgan's look at 'The Trail of Tears' for the We the People series begins by bluntly confronting young readers with the cold historic fact that in 1838 the U.S. forced the Cherokee Nation to relocate, resulting in thousands of deaths. This book covers a critical event in U.S. history: the period of Indian removal and resistance from 1817 to 1839, documenting the Cherokee experience as well as Jacksonian policy and Native-U.S. relations.
