And the Moravian Church's missionaries, through mission diaries, reports, and letters, record the events as they hear, read, and watch them, \"heart freezing scenes of injustice, deception, oppression, \u0026amp; force, of which this Nation is the victim,\" missionary Henry Clauder writes in April 1837. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As forced removal increases, \"forts\" are built to hold up to 200 Indians each, even at the Moravians' beloved Springplace mission. Herded into the forts like cattle, many succumb to camp diseases. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the deadline for departure approaches, John Ross, president of the Cherokee Nation, wins a concession from the Army's Gen. Winfield Scott. Instead of soldiers, Cherokees will conduct the thirteen \"detachments\" of about one thousand Indians each. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And the Moravian missionaries make their own hard decision. With winter coming on, they depart on the 800-mile journey to Arkansas before Br. George Hicks can start his detachment with a number of Moravian mission families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard W.
