For hundreds of years they believed themselves to be the \"Principle People\" residing at the center of the earth. But by the 18th century, some of their leaders believed it was necessary to adapt to European ways in order to survive. Those chiefs sealed the fate of their tribes in 1875 when they signed a treaty relinquishing their land east of the Mississippi in return for promises of wealth and better land. The U.S. government used the treaty to justify the eviction of the Cherokee nation in an exodus that the Cherokee will forever remember as the \"trail where they cried.\" The heroism and nobility of the Cherokee shine through this intricate story of American politics, ambition, and greed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eB \u0026amp; W photographs\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fascinating portrayal of the Cherokee nation, filled with Native American legend, lore, and religion -- a gripping American drama of power, politics, betrayal, and ambition. \u003cbr\u003eB \u0026amp; W photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Ehle, a sixth-generation North Carolinian, grew up on land once used as hunting grounds by the Cherokee.
