The historian will do justice to the memories of the fallen. —John Adair Bell

The Bell Route of the Trail of Tears passed through what is now the greater campus of Sewanee—The University of the South. This digital archive is a project developed in Sewanee classrooms to better understand our local history of Cherokee Removal. This collaboration between faculty, students, and the community supports Sewanee’s Indigenous Engagement Initiative.
