Gold and The Trail of Tears are historical reminders in which our nation cannot find pride. The Eye of the Eagle is a story of the first major gold rush and some of the resulting tragedy suffered by the Cherokee Indians because of the white man's greed. The story can have as much to do with learning as it does with adventure, and is fun reading for almost any age about a time when life may have been simpler, but certainly not easier. Mix a pound of gold, a cup of Indians, a pinch of good guys, a pinch of bad guys, miles of wilderness, a spoonful of military, a half-pint town, love and devotion, and you'll find circumstances embroiled in flavors you just can't find anywhere else."

From the Author
The events and the life style of the first major gold rush in America are re-lived every October in the little town of Dahlonega, Georgia, only five miles from Auraria where it all started in 1829. It was here the saying, "thars gold in them thar hills" originated in 1849 when the "new" gold rush in California began to draw he Georgia miners to the new gold fields. THE EYE OF THE EAGLE is historical fiction that will take you back to the beginning in 1829. The discovery of gold in Georgia was the catalyst that spelled doom for the Cherokee Indians who had called these lands home for over a thousand years. The Cherokees were forced from their homes and their homeland by the forces of the U.S. government on the infamous "Trail of Tears'that took them to the Oklahoma territory in 1838. But not all of them went. And the white man did not find all of the gold. Read this exciting story and visit Gold Rush Days in Dahlonega on October 19th and 20th if you can. Gold fever is as easy
