My husband hiked the John Muir Trail in 16 days in Sept of 2002, which is fairly fast. The link below is another hiker's log of their hike.

"Although the Chickasaw traveled west to Indian Territory in comfort by comparison with other Indian tribes during the removal, they too, endured many hardships. They had been practically forced to leave their old homes and the country that their people had found for and cherished through many generations. They suffered deprivations and epidemics in the emigration, and some of their people died and were buried on the way."\n\nFrom: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/i/l/Linda-J-Giles/FILE/0001page.html\n\n"He traveled the Chickasaw "Trail of Tears" with a party of 129 tribal members, leaving Pontotoc, Mississippi on June 9, 1838. One hundred miles east of Little Rock, Arkansas, his caravan was stricken with fever. Seventy Chickasaws at one time were gravely ill and two ultimately died. One victim was a two-year-old child and the other was the Chickasaw queen and wife of Ishtehotopa. "\n\nFrom: http://www.chickasaw.net/heritage/250_1052.htm\nArticle about Ishtehotopa\n\nUsually sources concentrate on the Cherokee Trail of Tears,  but the Chickasaw experience was somewhat different.  None of my history texts (even the ones on Native American history) mention much about it.  You can read more at these two sources, the latter is the site of the Chickasaw Nation and should be useful for more information.  Hope this is helpful :-).

Yes, we did that in late March 1999 from the south rim.  We started from South Kaibab trail and ended at the top of theBright Angel Trail.  Total is about 15.5 miles.  We did it in about 9 hours, 7am to 4pm.  There are shuttle buses between the two locations.\n\nWe were very tired but not exhausted. I think it's because we planned everything carefully.\n\nWe were both in our mid-thirties.  My husband is atheletic.  But I'm only 5-foot tall and not atheletic at all; my 5K running record is 30 minutes - slow :-)  Although I do have good endurance.\n\nWe went at a steady pace, especially on the way up - don't rush but do keep going; stopped to enjoy the views periodically, but never stopped for too long, even when we were really tired, or you would lose the momentum.  Lunch was less than 30 minutes by the river, better snacking along the way than having a big lunch.\n\nWe each carried a backpack - my husband's was much heavier than mine :-) and plenty of water (and Powerbars), which got consumed along the way so less haulling on the way up.  Also, we didn't have to carry camping gears, so were able to go at a faster pace then back packers.\n\nIn terms of physical preparation, we had been doing hiking (usually 4 to 8 hours trails) or running races (I did 5K and my husband did 10K or 15K) every couple months for couple years, just as a habit, not as preparation for this hike.  Some of our courses were quite hilly.\n\nWe were very glad and proud that we did it!\n\nGood luck!\n\nShawna

I believe the 15 million figure was exploded by Rush, and that was acknowledged by Majors in the House, on television.  Its kind of like the 800.000 man march or the 2 million Jews that have been added to the statistics in the last 50 years.\n\nHave you ever heard of the Trail of Tears? That was about Americans dying.

The trail the Cherokee had to walk through when they were forcibly removed from their land, almost 4000 of them died, because of the adverse elements, hence came the name Trail of Tears. \nYou should read my essay on why their should be no Columbus Day observed.

I think it's about 3000 miles, but that's just a vague rememberance and extremely rough as it is. Wiki it.

The Sedalia Trail was a branch of the Shawnee Trail. It crossed the Red River at Red Rock then turned northeast to Sedalia, Missouri, and on to St. Louis.\n\nYou might be able to construct your own map if you start with one of the Shawnee Trail. Good luck!

Wow, this was a tough one to answer.  \nAccording to this page, it says the trail is 1.05 miles:\nhttp://nn.byu.edu/story.cfm/55227\n\nThis was the best page that I found that describes how to get to the trailhead, but it doesn't have a distance:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Rapids/6257/ymtn.html\n\nEnjoy!

All of Oklahoma was once an indian reservation, but it wasn't a state, just the Oklahoma Territory. Thousands of natives were forced to move there as part of the Trail of Tears.
