A fictionalized account of the 1830s Indian Removal.

It is 1829 and young Marco Secundus has given up on ever being adopted and leaving St. Matthew's Home for Boys. But when his attention is drawn by a respectable-looking Creek man, he decides to become an Indian himself. Marco finds himself welcomed into a Creek tribe by landowner John Coachman . . . just in time for the Indian Removal Act sponsored by President Andrew Jackson that uprooted Southern Indian tribes from their homes.

Marco and John Coachman must use their knowledge and skills to help the Creeks navigate the treacherous exodus known as The Long Walk, despite obstacles thrown up by U.S. politicians and their own fellow Indians.
