[at-l] Trail of Tears

[wolferrae@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (wolferrae@xxxxxxxxxxxxx)]

Trail of Tears is a short 15-20 minute drive from my house.
It has some short hiking trails and a repleca of a mettign house and
several log structures a small museume too with a brief film on Jackson and
John Ross.  John Ross acording to family folk lore is supsoe to be one of
my Great Grandfather's but this cannot be proven as his grandson was
adopted out to Texas after the forced march and all family records are
untraceable.
This grand son was a halve breed and was in danger of his life so he was
given to some passing wagon train family to save his life in Oklahoma.
OR at least the is the story in my family.  I have a book about someone
hiking the trail recently.  haven't red it yet but I'm told it reads like
Peter Jenkins book "A Walk Across America"

    The Trail of Tears began in Bradley County, Tennessee, just above the
Georgia state line, at what was known as Red Clay, now a Tennessee state
park
commemorating Cherokee history most appropriately. It is an interesting
place
to visit and relatively close to New Echota, also very interesting.
