The Long March: The Choctaw's Gift to Irish Famine Relief

About this book

"This deeply moving work quietly and effectively underscores the drama and pathos of a little-known historical episode. In 1847 the Choctaw themselves impoverished raised $170 (the equivalent of more than $5ooo today) to aid the Irish then in the throes of the great potato famine."-Publishers Weekly Starred Review Endorsed by the Choctaw Nation.
