trail of tears

Here is a bit of information not so many people know about the "Trail of Tears". A friend that I have known for years has a picture on her wall of a little white country church. Although I knew that she was Cherokee, I didn't know anything really about her families background. I asked her about the picture and she said her Aunt had painted it for her. Her Grandparents were among the Indians that had survived the "relocation". Before the tribe was moved from the Carolinas, they tore down their little church and carried it in pieces over the Trail of Tears where it was reconstructed on the reservation at the end of the trail in OK. She was born and lived her younger years about a mile from the church. Some of her family members still live in the area. What a precious family heirloom that picture is!!

The infamous "trail of tears" in the late 1800's from th Carolinas to Oklahoma & I believe it was considerably more than 800 miles.
