Description:A recounting of the story of the original journey of the "removal" of the Potawatomi Indians from Indiana to Kansas while blending in fascinating story of this white man’s walk re-tracing every foot of the 660 mile journey—the first white man to do so since 1838. Studying the original journals and letters as he walked, and often sleeping at their actual campsites he ponders larger issues of injustice, sin, restitution, and penance. Keith Drury is an Associate Professor of religion at Indiana Wesleyan University. Keywords:Listed in: |

Wow. Thanks to Dr. Drury I had an amazing adventure this afternoon as I sat down and read the entire book after it arrived just yesterday in the mail!
As a former student of Dr. Drury my expectations for the book were high and even with a few typographical errors littered throughout I was HIGHLY impressed and enjoyed every single entry. It literally felt as though I was on the journey too!
Thanks "Coach" Drury for allowing us to share in the adventure!

Last night when I started reading this book, I could not put it down until I finished it. As a Native American, at times I wept. As a Christian, my heart rejoiced, was moved, and was broken. As American citizens, we carry the shame of our ancestors knowing that there is nothing we can do today to make amends -- but with knowledge we can give surety that a like atrocity, not matter the race or make up of nation of people, is never recreated in this great nation. Today, as in the 1800's, people of character must continue to make great silent sacrifices to carry on the legacy of who we are for following generations. I pray that as a result, a century and a half from now someone else will not have to walk in our moccasins to tell our story. Thank you Keith Drury for such a moving well told account of the 1838 and the 2006 story.
