Ghosts of ancestors
Wails echoing in the wind
Tread the trail of tears

Author Notes
The Trail of Tears winds its way through Chattanooga going west. When I visit my daughter, I'm on it for a little way. I always imagine how sad these people must been when forced to go to a far away reservation leaving thier homes behind.
