Pushing the Bear by Diane Glancy

In a novel that 'retains the complexity, immediacy, and indirection of a poem,' Glancy brings to life the Cherokees' 900-mile forced removal to Oklahoma in 1838 and gives us 'a powerful witness to one of the most shameful episodes in american history' (Los Angeles Times).

Diane Hall Glancy grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, and is of Cherokee and English/German origin. She is a professor of Native American literature and creative writing at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. Paul, Minnesota
