Subtitled: One Man's Journey along the Cherokee Trail of Tears.
A really nice, insightful book. I'm a big fan of "journey" books anyway, and I have read several about hiking the Appalachian Trail. I hope to hike it someday myself. Ellis hiked the Trail of Tears, backwards from Oklahoma to Georgia/Alabama. Not exactly the outdoor experience of hiking the AT, but the man was on a mission. He's a great writer - makes me want to look him up and see if he has written any fiction.
It also makes me jealous. I love his descriptions, and he has a wonderful sarcastic tone at times that I like. The whole thing is upbeat though, something that I never seem to be able to manage. A great read.
