CROW
Forced to live where they did not wish to live, the Cherokee People, along with other native peoples, carved out a life in the Indian Territory, later to become Oklahoma. To maintain law and order in "The Nations" they formed the Cherokee Lighhorsemen, later to become part of the United States Indian Police, or U.S.I.P. When Chickasaw Blackman and his band of cutthroats run amuck through The Nations, the U.S.I.P. sends Deputy Hannibal Crow to track them down and bring them to justice. But along their way to Louisiana, Blackman's group raids farms and ranches, belonging to white settlers, from Fort Smith, Arkansas to DeKalb, Texas, killing and burning as they go. Two of those murdered were persons close to Crow, making his quest a personal one. Secrets are revealed, Blackman's group is tracked over three states and a young man's life is turned topsy-turvy as he rides with Crow on the chase.

Crow
By Steve Ritchie
A great story. The author wrote an interesting book about the Native American people and historical data from that era. I cried reading about The Trail of Tears. Though I knew of it and had read of it many times previously. The way that the author wrote of it, almost made you feel as though you were there, going through that traumatic, people killing, painful, horrific time in the history of the Cherokee and in American history. It was a story worth reading. Crow, was a very interesting, good and inspiring man of Cherokee heritage.

A Western About the Cherokee Indians and the Trail of Tears
SR has penned a western which begins with the friendly Cherokee Indians that helped white settlers until President Jackson stole their lands and forced many of the tribe to make a move from the area where Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee meet. There were some that stayed behind because most were mixed marriages. Years later IndOnesian becomes a Marshal for the Hanging Judge of Arkansas Territory. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Thank you Mr. Ritchie
Our history is filled with times when both Native Tribes and immigrants did vile acts. Our government will forever bear the shame of their lives and broken promises. But noble individuals of both races bring us a great deal of pride.
Some of my ancestors walked that trail and suffered. Others might have been driving them.

I would not recommend this book, it is probably a good book but it is not my kind of book.
