It is unlikely that any single book or document will ever earn a
more firmly-fixed position of respect and authority than this
distinguished volume by Grant Foreman. Originally published in
1932, on the date of the hundredth anniversary of the arrival in
Oklahoma of the first Indians as a result of the United States
government's relocation of the Five Civilized Tribes, Indian
Removal remains today the definitive book in its field.The forcible
uprooting and expulsion of the 60,000 Indians comprising the Five
Civilized Tribes, including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek,
Cherokee, and Seminole, unfolded a story without parallel in the
history of the United States. For more than a decade thousands of
tragedies and experiences of absorbing interest marked the removal
over the ""Trail of Tears,"" but there were no chroniclers at hand
to record them. Only occasionally did the tragedy and pathos of
some phase of this history-making undertaking beguile a sympathetic
officer to turn from routine and write a line or a paragraph of
comment. From fragments in thousands of manuscripts and in official
and unofficial reports Grant Foreman gleaned the materials for this
book to provide readers with an unbiased day-by-day recital of
events.
