For his help in the historical research of this project I’d like to thank T.J. Holland, Cultural Resources Manager for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians in North Carolina and curator of the tribally owned Junaluska Museum. A renown Snowbird Cherokee artist, he patiently answered my many questions and helped me to locate what remains of the Tatham Gap Road where the gouged wagon ruts made on the Trail can still be seen. Deep in the woods outside Robbinsville, it is a painfully beautiful yet slightly haunting place. As if the earth itself remembers the suffering of those who once trod this path.

Jesus—Here I raise my Ebenezer. By Your help I’ve come. You are the beginning and the end of my journey. For truly the further we travel together, the sweeter comes the end.
