AuthorJoseph Bruchac
ISBN0439121973
I'm a bit torn on this one. The story itself was very interesting and features plenty of historical details about the Trail of Tears.

I really loved the descriptions, especially in the tone of wonder for this basically untouched scenery. It really felt like someone who was seeing these amazing places for the first time, and felt as much awe as the rest of us would. It also didn't play down the difficulties of the travel (hunger, terrain,...
