The Trail of Death: Letters of Benjamin Marie Petit is a historical non-fiction book written by Irving McKee. The book is based on the letters written by Benjamin Marie Petit, a French Jesuit missionary, during his journey with the Potawatomi Indians on the Trail of Death in 1838. The Trail of Death was a forced relocation of the Potawatomi from their ancestral lands in Indiana to a reservation in Kansas. The journey was long and arduous, and many Potawatomi died due to harsh weather conditions, lack of food, and disease.The book provides a first-hand account of the Trail of Death through the eyes of Benjamin Marie Petit. The letters he wrote during the journey describe the suffering and hardships faced by the Potawatomi, as well as the kindness and generosity of some of the people they encountered along the way. The book also provides a historical context for the Trail of Death, including the political and social factors that led to the forced relocation of the Potawatomi.The Trail of Death: Letters of Benjamin Marie Petit is a powerful and moving account of a tragic event in American history. It provides a unique perspective on the Trail of Death and sheds light on the experiences of the Potawatomi people during this difficult time. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American history, the history of the Midwest, or the history of the United States in the 19th century.This is a new release of the original 1941 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
