TRAIL OF DEATH

On October 17 & 18, 1838, about 850 Potawatomi Indians camped near Huntsville on their way from northern Indiana to Kansas, a forced march accompanied by soldiers. Having traveled 13 miles in cold rain, a flooded camp caused them to stay a second day.

History of Mark:
There are about 24 markers from Twin Lakes, Indiana to Osawatomie, Kansas. This one is in Huntsville, Missouri.
