Trail of Tears

The Story of John Ross (Ross Saga, Book 1)

De: Anne Greene

Narrado por: Marcus Barton

One man fights overwhelming odds to survive and protect. Caught between the love of two beautiful women,
which one will he choose?

What if you are a twenty-year-old, about to attend college, and your whole world collapses? Your mother and sister are missing, and soldiers murder your father, burn your mansion, and take you prisoner.

Trail of Tears relives one of the most heartrending chapters in American history as the US Government transports the self-governing, wealthy Cherokee nation from their ancestral homeland to relocate in hostile Indian Territory.

The Georgia militia forces John Ross, with only a trickle of Indian blood flowing in his veins, to walk the thousand-mile Trail of Tears.

After John protects a full-blood Indian girl from the lustful wagon master, the cruel soldier targets John for retribution—until John’s shoved too far.

Bitter animosity explodes from a jealous Army Captain as John pushes and pulls his Conestoga wagon over mountain roads made muddy by rain and slippery by snow.

Yet the persuasive voices of the preacher and his daughter have an impact.

A new destiny awaits John at the end of the trail—if he survives. Four thousand Cherokee do not.

4 STARS


John Ross, a 1/16 blood Cherokee, is forced to walk the 1000 mile Trail of Tears to relocate in hostile Indian country along with many other Native Americans.
There are also two possible love interests for him.
This book is a fictional account of very real events. Will John be one of the survivors?





The narration was done by Marcus Barton. He gave the characters identity. Quite an enjoyable listen on a sad subject. A part of American History we can learn from.


I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Heartbreaking but still love and happiness

I've voluntarily give my review and exchange for a copy of this audiobook. This book is filled with heartbreak with what the Indian people had to endure. But through all of the hardship and death came love and happiness. I cannot wait to see how the books continue to play out. I'm fully invested in these characters, especially Jon Ross, and I have to know how his life continues. 

Excellent

The narrator was awesome. The story was sad at times, as one should expect by the title.

Well written and narrated

What a hardship Ross went through, but the story was very well written and narrated. Would definitely recommend
