The Reckoning

The Southeastern frontier westward expansion from 1750 to 1848 bringing pioneers

into the Native American struggle for survival. It was the most dangerous period

in history for a pioneer family to establish a home, as their entrance into the land clashed

with the native people who were fighting for everything they possessed, including their

very identity. In order to avoid removal, some Native Americans gave up their claim to the

name, and there are many of their descendants today who cannot trace their ancestry on

the Dawes Rolls.

"The Reckoning gives great significance to our nation's history and heritage of frontier

pioneers and Native Americans, as ethnic groups and cultures are intertwined across the

southeastern landscape of the United States. The Reckoning brings to life the characters in

the story that leaves very little to the imagination "
