" A bit slow at first, but the story eventually was gripping. As a Missouri boy with Cherokee blood (1/32) in me, I appreciated learning more about how the federal government, dating from Washington, but primarily during the Jackson years, worked to get the Eastern native Americans to move to Oklahoma and beyond. As the Cherokees referred to it, the "Trail Where They Wept" was an extremely difficult journey. The disagreements within the Cherokee nation itself over the terms of the treaty were indicative of the disunity caused by the forced evacuation. "
