Wind in the Web: a Cherokee Warrior's Epic Journey of Rebirth

In 1838, the federal government forcibly removed the Cherokee Nation from its ancestral home in Southern Appalachia and relocated the people to the Indian Territory in Oklahoma. But there was something that the tribe could not take with them: the land that was the naturalistic source of their lore, songs, spirituality?and very identity. A year later, one of the few Cherokees left in Appalachia, a warrior named Euchella, experiences an epiphany that can help the uprooted tribe reconnect with what it means to be Cherokee. He begins an epic journey to retrace the Trail of Tears and deliver his vision of promise to the tribe in Oklahoma. Wind in the Web is Frederick E. Bryson's second novel on the devastating Cherokee Removal and its aftermath.
