From the beginning I could tell that this book was going to be a challenge. The author has a very unique writing style and one that I am not accustomed to reading. I'll be honest, I almost gave up on this book but I wanted so bad to see what my ancestors saw and feel what they felt that I pressed on and I'm so glad that I did.
It is a hard story to read and another sad note in American history. Much like the holocaust, Native Americans were forced off their land by the "white man" and moved first to concentration camps and then west. Depending on the compassion of the officer that came knocking on your door, some families were able to take some of their belongings with them while others left with only the clothes on their back. I cannot even begin to imagine what that trek must've been like.
If you are into Native American history or history in general I highly recommend it! While painful to hear, it's a story everyone should know.… (altro)
