Story
The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

Although one can speak of Thomas Jefferson in a tediously factual way, he was an enigma. Historically, he is noted for writing the Declaration of Independence, which was a daring and courageous statement of the rights of Americans and, indeed, of all people. Hidden beneath the many cloaks of legalistic terminologies that he was fond of using, all the strengths and vulnerabilities of Jefferson as a man were there, too. Like many people of today, he had a difficult childhood. He also liked to party while in college and loved to play the fiddle.

Summary
Explore the cruel history of the Trail of Tears.
One of the darkest and cruelest chapters in the history of the United States occurred when the nation’s young government decided to remove the native peoples from their lands in the name of profit.
Having helped settlers for hundreds of years, five Native American tribes found it increasingly more difficult to relate to, and trust, the country that had once acted as their allies. The native peoples had fought alongside the Americans to gain freedom from England, the nation that the colonists deemed oppressive and unfair. The native peoples acted as benefactors and teachers to help the colonists gain an advantage against an army that was far superior to the small forces that the colonists could muster. The new country owed a lot of its existence to the native peoples, yet the settlers, who were of European descent, did not see it that way.
The following topics will be covered in this audiobook:
- The early relationship
- The growth of Manifest Destiny
- The discovery of gold and the Indian Removal Act
- Peaceful protests and a push for recognition
- The people versus the president
- The militia force removal
- The trail of tears
- Stories of pain, loss, and love
- Making a new home
- And a great deal more you don't want to miss out on!

Very well written, good book.
This book is truly informative on the events that led up to the forced removal of the Cherokee. It tells all about muscogee creek, seminole, chickasaw, and choctaw nations. I only wish there had been more accounts of the forced March by Cherokee people who experienced it and/or their descendents.

if you are interested about the life and trials of our Indians who actually owned this land which we call the United States before the pilgrims came and then others and wrested their lands from them and sent them West where the land that was furnished to them was dry and rocky and you couldn't raise a flag on it.

Opinions, not unwarranted, overwhelming
I learned a few things, but the book was largely a commentary more than a historical telling. I didn’t want to be bored by extensive references but a few would have been nice. The reader was good, overall, though some significant errors could have been easily avoided, e.g., the mispronunciation of Tahlequah, the capital of the modern day Cherokee Nation. Overall, I don’t recommend this book.

Story is needed but too didactic
While this brief overview of the forced removals of native peoples is needed, it is far too didactic. It rings like a 6th grade social studies lesson. The horrific facts speak for themselves. There is no need to continually add commentary of a "teaching" nature. I agree with what is being said, but it puts the production too much in teacher mode.
