The Trail Randy Bishop

The Trail follows the forced removal of the Cherokee from their Tennessee village to the Oklahoma reservation. The struggles of the adventure increase the tension that exists among the Native American captives and their guards, members of the US Army. In the midst of the tragedy, White Crow, a Cherokee maiden, befriends a soldier named Jake Savage. The resulting relationship between the two contrasts with the degradation and death prevalent on the Trail of Tears.
