In January of 2011, Ron Cooper, a member of the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma, began walking the Northern Route of the Cherokee Trail of Tears National Historic Trail as a personal adventure of self-reflection.

During his journey, Cooper experienced all of the pitfalls expected when hiking a long distance, while also enduring the worst winter in recent memory. Constantly plagued by setbacks and doubt, his determination to finish the quest is an inspiration to anyone who has ever desired to take on unknown challenges and seemingly-impossible goals.Part memoir, part trail guide - with history and philosophy throughout. Cooper's is a fresh new voice in the genre.
