Let us remember the tragedy and sorrow of the Trail of Tears as we journey with timothy.ross.96 on his walk of remembrance to follow the route of the Benge Detachment. From September 28, 1838 to October 1, 1838, 188 years ago, some 1200 men, women & children started west from Fort Payne in Wills Valley to Oklahoma. The 768 mile trip took 106 days to complete and when the detachment arrived in Stilwell, OK on January 17, 1839 there were 1132 people remaining. There were 33 deaths and 3 births on the Trail.
