Potawatomi Trail of Death
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Potawatomi Trail of Death was the forced removal by United States forces from September 4 to November 4, 1838, of 859 members of the Potawatomi nation from a place near Plymouth, Indiana, to the location of present-day Osawatomie, Kansas, a distance of 660 miles. Disease and the stress of the removal caused the deaths of more than 40 Potawatomi.
