In 1830, Congress passed a bill providing removing all native Indians living east with the Mississippi River. For the next two decades, Indians were marched west to help reservations in Arkansas and Okla, such as the bands of the Illini Indians with Illinois. Inside Fall and Winter of 1838-39, Cherokee Indians were marched using Georgia along with the Carolinas all over Southern Illinois to reservations inside west. It was estimated that two thousand to four large number of Cherokee men, women, and children died while achieving this one thousand mile journey west.

"My great-great-grandmother was acookin' pumpkin an' keepin' an eye on her baby when your lady heard a strange noise outside. Before she knew it, doors popped open and there stood two Cherokee Indian braves just alookin' at her.... They had smelled the pumpkin cookin' as they simply passed by, but my grandmother hadn't a way of knowin' which.

Our trip inside Kentucky had been mostly through village country so we headed into Illinois lured by Old Shawnee Town concerning the map. When we arrived it had been eventually not only old but at least one ghost town. A massive Greek architectural style bank dwarfed the others in sight.

HogDaddy's bar was across the deserted street from the mortgage lender. A sign on the door said closed for any winter, but it was obviously closed for almost any summer as well. We also learned later that worse flooding in decades had closed that town down. Two wooden cut-out figures using Lewis and Clark indicated on the list of passed through Shawnee city, but they looked as forlorn once we did once we found available HogDaddy's was closed down. We drove south out of town thinking we were in the Lincoln trail but ended sitting on a gravel road. Common sense can have dictated turning back to the most crucial road, but we wanted to uncover the confluence of the Wabash and also the Ohio. We were soon lost inside labyrinth of corn fields. We saw a deer and her fawn through the road drinking from a will get puddle. We kept turning right after we should have turned left to get hold of the main road, but that river beckoned.

Then unexpectedly our engine sputtered and halted.
