Millions have been locked up, following the discovery of Earth Flow and test results from the DNA Police. The wolves have stopped howling and the dogs no longer bark. Will Long River, a Native American, a Cherokee, is running for his life in New Orleans on Mardi Gras Day. Brought up with Cherokee traditions, he was never told the story of the ancient Ravens and that story was kept from him by his mother because she feared this very day might come true.
Author Jerry Ellis was the first person in the modern world to walk the 900 mile route of the Trail of Tears. His book about that journey, Walking the Trail, One Man's Journey Along the Cherokee Trail of Tears, was nominated by Random House for a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award. He has lectured about the Cherokee and the Trail of Tears in Europe, Asia, Africa and the USA. He is the author of eight books, including Cherokee History For Indian Lovers that contains many historic photos.
