Red Clay, Tennessee (NFIC)
Amid the gently rolling hills of this verdant corner of southeast Tennessee is located the Red Clay State Historic Area that was the site of the 2nd reunion of the Western and Eastern Cherokees this spring.
The pristine beauty of the surrounding woodlands belied the solemnity of the occasion that marked the last Cherokee Council of 1837 that was held prior to the Nation being driven west on the infamous Trail Of Tears.
