Absolutely beautiful book based on a mass movement of Black pioneers who travelled from Natchez MS to Grand Island NE by wagon and on foot in 1879. Crossing the rivers was dangerous and there were food shortages and some violent attacks by White travelers, and cholera. They lost people along the way but became a tighter, more supportive group. Land was free and you had 5 years to make the land productive. Novel in verse, great writing👏🏻
