Thank you Andries. Trail of Tears refers to the forced relocation march of Native Americans from Eastern States to West of the Mississippi River. Many died along the way. There seem to be correlations with some events that are occurring in present times as well.

Thank you Denny. I think the nylon and the tin sort of balance each other out.

Thanks much Danny. It's tough to come up with originals. I'm always afraid it might be something I heard and could be stealing without knowing.

Thank you Dave. This is one I need to do a bit more research on to get a better handle on the history of this story.

Thanks James O. My ancestors may well have been the ones following orders to move folks on that forced march but my heart is with the tribes who were displaced.
