Kah-nung-da-tla-geh—the great
Cherokee chieftain known as the
Ridge—was born with one foot in each of
the two worlds. The first was that of his
ancestors, the great Cherokee Nation,
who once settled across the lower plains,
their culture flourishing, their position
secure. But the arrival of the white man
changed life as the Ridge knew it forever,
ushering in a new world of forced
change, war, death, and misery.
It was the Ridge’s visionary leadership
that led the Cherokee into the future as
one nation—with a culture at once
unique and adaptable to the white man’s.
But as the white tide continued to flood
the plains, the Ridge’s judgment would
be questioned, tested, and ultimately
flung aside in favor of war—and his
contribution to the survival of the
Cherokee Nation forgotten on the
infamous Trail of Tears.
Until now . . .
