Image of a portion of the painting Cherokee Trail of Tears (1942) by Robert Lindneux. The painting depicts the forced journey of the Cherokees in 1838 from their ancestral homeland in the Southeast to present-day Oklahoma. Many Cherokee men, women, and children walk, ride horses, and travel in covered wagons across rough terrain. Many of the women and children are wrapped in blankets. The sky is dark with ominous clouds.
In 1838 and 1839 U.S. troops, prompted by the state of Georgia, expelled the Cherokee Indians from the Southeast and removed them to the Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. - Metadata URL:
