Book: The Trail of Tears

You can find the read aloud here.

Bruchac, J. (1999) The Trail of Tears. New York, NY: Random House.
            This book tells the story of John Ross, the chief of the Cherokee Nation and his tribe’s journey to Oklahoma. The Cherokee people were forced to leave their homeland and travel 1,200 miles in harsh conditions. This book contains beautiful and useful illustrations that help readers really picture how the Native American removal went down. This is a non-fiction story, so this book can be utilized as a tool to teach about the Trail of Tears and the removal act. This book is appropriate for grades 1 through 5.
