Mary and the Trail of Tears: A Cherokee Removal Survival Story by Andrea Rogers

TEKS: US HIST MS (5)(G) analyze the reasons for the removal and resettlement of Cherokee Indians during the Jacksonian era, including the Indian Removal Act, Worcester v. Georgia, and the Trail of Tears.
Unlike the previous book that has information about Native Americans before the Europeans. This book talks about the tragedy of the Indian Removal act. This survival story book allows students to learn more about the perspective of indigenous people during the Trail of Tears. The book is told as a diary book, it contains personal stories that connect to important historical dates and events. Again, my teaching philosophy is to provide students with diverse perspectives of history and this a great book that will achieve that.
