Indian Removal Routes in Arkansas
In 2006, the Arkansas Archeological Survey prepared a study of probable removal routes in Arkansas, funded by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage. Compiled by Amber M. Horne, the study is titled “Footprints Across Arkansas: Trail of Tears Removal Corridors for the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks & Seminoles.”
