"Richly detailed and well-researched, this heartbreaking history unfolds like a political thriller with a deeply human side."--Publishers Weekly

Toward the Setting Sun chronicles one of the most significant but least explored periods in American history, recounting the unknown story of the first white man to champion the voiceless Native American cause.

Son of a Scottish trader and a quarter-Cherokee woman, John Ross was educated in white schools. It was not until he was twenty-two, when he fought alongside "his people" against the Creek Indians, a neighboring rebel tribe, that he knew the Cherokees' fate would be his. Cherokee chief for forty years, he would guide the tribe through, its most turbulent period.

As increasing numbers of whites settled illegally on the Cherokee Nation's native land, including Ross's beloved home at Head of Coosa, the chief remained steadfast in his refusal to sign a treaty agreeing to removal. When a group of renegade Cherokees betrayed him and negotiated an agreement with Jackson's men behind Ross's back, he was forced to give way and begin the journey west.

In one of America's great tragedies, thousands of Cherokees died during the tribe's migration on the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma.

Exactly what I needed!
Color: Natural, Size: 6 Panels
My main use for this may be different than most people. I was taking care of some kittens and wanted to keep them away from sensitive areas of the living room (wires, home theater equipment, etc.). At first I stacked some boxes around, which was rather ugly and ineffective (made it harder for ME to get around more than anything else). I went online looking for a better solution and found this room divider. This did the trick! Finally I could have a stress-free time while the kittens were running around, and with something that actually improved the look of the room too. The divider itself is put together very well. The hinges actually fold both ways, so you get some versatile configuration options. It is lightweight and easy to move around, making it very easy to stash out of the way when not in use. I was so pleased that I went and bought 2 of the smaller 4-panel dividers as well, to use in a different area.

UNhappy Customer!
Color: Natural, Size: 6 Panels
Quite honestly I dont normally give poor reviews. I dont normally get poorly made products from Amazon but this time has changed things for me. I will order very little and will especially be mindful of anything made in China! This divider arrived in an intact but wet box. It took me nearly 20 minutes to get it to unfold. The two outside panels flipped out freely but for some reason I had to work to get the other panels to unfold. When it did open, the second panel was clearly damaged. I proceeded to prepare it for return, taped it up securely, requested and received a return label and traveled to the UPS store to return. Wouldn't you know it...UPS shipping charges were $154.00!!! More than I paid for this inferior product. So, if I return on my dollar and hope it makes it to the appointed destination and receive $151.99 for the return cost, I'm out $154.00 and no product to show for it! Its amazing how sellers come up with ways to unload their junk and then prevent satisfied customers by making them pay for the return shipping costs. I opted to keep the junk and consider it a lesson learned. What a scam!
