a Cherokee who follows the teachings of Coyote.  He works for a Mad
Scientist in the employ of the CSA.  Unbeknowst to the Mad Scientist, the
CSA captured his family during the forced march on the Trail of Tears,

	The forced migrations of the "Trail of Tears" occurred during the 1820's
through the 1840's, a full two decades before secession. In other words,
there was no CSA around to capture the Cherokee's family.


>Anyhoo, being from NC, I am interested in the trail of tears and that
whole debacle.  Also, they will be travelling by rail.  The first big bruha
will be from a train robbery.  Basically the USA is trying to stop the
Cherokee from returning.

	As recounted in *Tales o' Terror: 1877*, there are almost no Cherokee left
to return *anywhere*. Furthermore, while I am no Paul Beakley, I am
reasonably certain that all the Cherokee's ancestral lands are now within
the Confederacy.

	BTW, what happened to your Posse in Nashville?
