The Cherokee Trail of Tears started in October 1838. About 18,000 Cherokees went west to Oklahoma, about 25% dying on the way. The family in my novel, Stone Man and the Trail of Tears, fled from the soldiers.

The Cherokee Trail of Tears had 3 paths in Kentucky. The northern-most trail passed near Hopkinsville (broken line). The middle trail followed the Tennessee River (blue line). The southern line crossed the Mississippi River at Columbus-Belmont State Park (dark line). The family in my novel, Stone Man and the Trail of Tears, tried to escape from the Trail of Tears.

This is inspired by my great-great grandfather, Bill Pennington, who was born in 1830. During the 1838 Trail of Tears, he and his family fled from their Cherokee village and settled in a rural area a few miles north of Charlestown, Indiana.
