The sad story of a Cherokee slave owner

My favorite books: https://www.amazon.com/shop/nytn?ref_... Dive into the complex and contradictory life of Rich Joe Vann, a prominent Cherokee leader of the 19th century. Vann was a man of duality, simultaneously an oppressor as a slave owner and a victim of the devastating Indian removal act and racism of the time. We explore the intricate web of his identity, navigating the blurred lines between hero and villain.

My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
