This painting deals with the Cherokee tragedy now called the Trail
of Tears. During the winter of 1838 and 1839 sixteen thousand Cherokees were forced on to
what would be the Trail of Tears overland to Indian Territory. The owl is the messenger of
death, on the trail of tears over 4,000 Cherokees died. The owl can be seen as a harbinger
of ill or in that by taking the weak and infirm out of their suffering, the owl caused the
strength of the Cherokee Nation to prevail.

Only the Names Remain
This history of the Cherokees in Georgia, originally
published in 1972 and textually unrevised here, remains elegantly elegiac,
bringing both clarity and immediacy to a complicated story. The book
concisely covers the period from centuries before the arrival of the first
white man in 1540, to the removal of most traces of the Cherokee Nation
from Georgia after 1837, through the Trail of Tears, a
journey that took one life in four among those who attempted it.
