DESCRIPTION:
In a sad and shameful episode of American history, in the 1830s, thousands of Cherokee men, women, and children were removed from their homes in the Southeastern United States and forced to march over a thousand miles to what is now Oklahoma. Over 4,000 died as a result of the removal. The route they took and the journey itself has become known as "The Trail of Tears," or, the literal translation from the Cherokee, "The Trail Where They Cried." This song by WAR RAVEN (aka JD Droddy) pays tribute to the VICTIMS of that tragedy. For permissions, free sheet music or MP3, EMAIL: Sunquaver@gmail.com .
