Illustrated by
Tony Meers.
Drawing on her family history, Harrell tells of a Choctaw ancestor removed from his homeland in 1831. Forced to relocate from eastern Mississippi to midwestern Indian Territory, ten-year-old Minko and his father leave the government-sanctioned wagon train and travel on ahead to set up their new home. Their arduous journey is realistically recounted in plainspoken prose.
