Trail of Death of the Potawatomi Indians
A boulder located in Price Park, Keytesville, Mo. It marks a site in the march of the Potawatomi Indians from their homes in Indiana to Kansas. From September 1838 over 850 Potawatomi Indian people were rounded up and marched at gunpoint from their Indiana homeland. Many walked the 660 mile distance, which took two months. More than 40 died, mostly children, of typhoid fever and the stress of the forced removal.
Oct 24th, 2009 the team will be investigating a homestead called the Redding Hill in which we plan to visit and do an investigation fo the trail of death memorial place where the Potawatomi Indians actually died of of typhoid fever and the stress of the forced removal. Our team hopes to capture some anomalies in this location.
