Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-04 00:00:00 Kell Kell Jerry Ellis often uses his journey books to heal family divisions. Living as a multi-ethnic can be like living in a strange land. Family diversity and downright differences can create dramas within dramas. Ellis identifies first as Cherokee and farmer and second as Scottish, first at Confederate with family members fighting on both sides of the Civil War. How to make sense of it all. I will not tell you here how it settles his desire to heal. The solution is one I never dreamed of, but one that works just right for Ellis, one that keeps his self respect as both Cherokee farmer and as respect or of human beings. Sounds obvious. Wasn't obvious to Ellis, so he went on a journey following Sherman's lead.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-19 00:00:00 David Dubois Pretty amusing book that would appeal to people who like travel books, Civil War history and social history. Ellis hikes along the same route that Sherman's army marched in 1864. Along the way, he explains what happened in 1864 and meets many of the charming locals, who he interviews and gets their perception on the impact of Sherman's March. If you ever wondered why the South still thinks it didn't lose the Civil War, this book will help you answer the question.
