...but at over $5 dollars against the short length of the book its not worth the price.I enjoyed the premise of what would have happened if someone had been able to warn the Native Indians of the events of The Trail of Tears and beyond and what would have then occurred due to having that knowledge.But when you have read lots of books you start to see the short cuts taken here, instead of a few pages given to a particular subject its covered in a few paragraphs and you are left feeling cheated, you also don't get to know the characters as well everything feels rushed.*** Spoilers ***Onto the main story arc of the creation of an Indian Nation for the Cherokee & Seminole covering the main South Eastern States, now I have read & watched a lot of stuff covering the time period, everything tells me that even a prepared Cherokee & Seminole nation would have not so easily defeated the US Army and even if they had the inbuilt predjudices of the majority white America would not have so easily ceded so large a piece of territory. There just wasn't enough detail to justify such a story arc being possible.And that is where this book falls down, I have read a number of books of similar length and the story is kept restricted and it works, this is such a huge story and the actions resulting from that, due to this it needs to be double the length for the story to be told properly.So yes whilst I found the story ok, I wouldn't recommend it as due to the length the story isn't told in enough detail to justify the story arc and also its not worth the price.Phil
