Desciption

One of the many ironies of U.S. government policy toward Indians in the early 1800s is that it persisted in removing to the West those who had most successfully adapted to European values. As whites encroached on Cherokee land, many Native leaders responded by educating their children, learning English, and developing plantations. Such a leader was Ridge, who had fought with Andrew Jackson against the British. As he and other Cherokee leaders grappled with the issue of moving, the land-hungry Georgia legislatiors, with the aid of Jackson, succeeded in ousting the Cherokee from their land, forcing them to make the arduous journey West on the infamous "Trail of Tears."

Review

I have bought and given away many copies of this book..It is my favorite book and it details the history of the Rise and Fall OF my people The Cheokees..I wish everyone would get a copy of this book and read what can happen when you do everything right and the government decides they want what you have obtained and take it away from you and give it to someone who did nothing to obtain it..Thia book gives informtuion bout a president of the US and his disregard for the human rights of people that he could never be good enough to even tie one Cherokee mans their shoe laces.. Present Andrew Jacksons actions make president Bush's actions seem like a saints in comparison..
