The story of the Trail of Tears, the forcible removal west of the Cherokee Indians from their home in Georgia. It is told as a romance between two Cherokees, The Blade Stuart, a plantation owner who sees the writing on the wall and wants to take action--better a new home than to be wiped out--and Temple Gordon, an educated, idealistic woman who opposes giving in.
