What role did early Missourians play in the Cherokee removal story? Is it one of racism indifference and greed? With Missouri Humanities funding and assistance from the Trail of Tears Association William Ambrose and Chris Dunn assembled historical maps recently discovered documents and contemporaneous government records to create a publicly available evolving GIS model of the Trail of Tears in the state that relates a different story. In a narrative that truly comes to life they tell instead of the care and aid extended by early settlers and farmers to the Cherokee on their long trek across the Missouri frontier.
