No 515 - The Trail Of Tears - Pt2

This is the concluding part of my conversation with two British adventurers who in 2019 followed a route which consisted of a 900 mile paddle and 400 miles walk in the footsteps of a piece of shameful American history now known as The Trail Of Tears.Although it is a story and a piece of history we in Europe know nothing about, it has similarities to some of our own shameful activities which also took place in the 1830's, the Highland Clearances where villages were cleared, homes burned and thousands evicted to survive how best they could.Ian Finch and Jamie Barnes traced the Trail of Tears and crossed from East United States to the West Mississippi over some of the harshest lands and dangerous waterways in the world.
