Synopsis:
Benjamin Marie Petit's vivid firsthand account of the Trail of Death, a forced relocation of Potawatomi Indians in 1838, is an invaluable historical document. Through his letters, Petit brings to life the horrific realities of this dark chapter in American history, including the starvation, disease, and death that plagued the Potawatomi as they were uprooted from their ancestral lands. This is a powerful and moving testimony to the resilience and courage of the Potawatomi people, and a call to remember the injustices committed against them.
