Description
A historical fiction book set in 1838, during the time of the Trail of Tears following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This story is told from Mary’s point of view, a young girl whose family was forced to vacate from their home and relocate. Mary and her family must survive and press on through a variety of trials and hardships in this compelling story. This book is part of a series entitled “Girls Survive” which tells stories of girls in history surviving horrific events, like the Trail of Tears. A great history resource, but also a great book outside of the curriculum. 102 pgs, pb. ~ Kathryn

Twelve-year-old Mary and her Cherokee family are forced out of their home in Georgia by U.S. soldiers in May 1838.

Facing horrors such as internment, violence, disease, and harsh weather, Mary perseveres and helps keep her family and friends together until they can reach the new Cherokee nation in Indian Territory. Featuring nonfiction support material, a glossary, and reader response questions, this Girls Survive story explores the tragedy of forced removals following the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
