Writer and Native American Jerry Ellis sets out to walk the Cherokee "Trail of Tears", moving from its terminus in Oklahoma back to its beginning in northwest Georgia, while contemplating his own life and the history of his tribe. It's a bit short on history, but full of interesting characters he finds along the way.
