Walking the Trail of Death

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.
