Description
Red Clay, Running Waters is the little-known story of John Ridge, a Cherokee man dedicated to his people, and his White wife, Sarah Northrop, a woman devoted to his cause.
Grappling with universal themes - the meaning of love, the tireless fight against tyranny, and courage in the face of oppression - the story of John and Sarah Ridge is a timely tale of one family’s search for justice in the struggle to defend Cherokee sovereignty during the 1830s Removal Crisis.
An epic tale of profound love, sacrifice, and the meaning of home, vividly woven through the Ridge’s lives, this is a vibrant and heart-breaking portrait of the Antebellum Era and the fate of Native Americans. Readers will be propelled on a stunning journey across true events leading to a haunting and moving conclusion.
Advance Praise
Sweeping yet intimate, historically accurate yet reflective of current issues, and, through it all, written with precision, grace and lyrical elegance. This is a splendid, splendid work. - Greg Fields – Author of Through the Waters and the Wild
I don't know a more powerful American story that reveals more of who we are, and how far we must travel to heal from our troubled past - David Marion Wilkerson – Author of Oblivions Altar.
Haunting and eminently readable, moving and infuriating, Red Clay, Running Waters is an epic tale of love, justice, and betrayal, and is a vivid portrayal of an episode of American history too many would prefer to be forgotten - Susan Higgenbotham - Author of John Brown’s Women:\
