Showing the Way
My compliments to the Travel section and to Gary Lee for his heartwarming and personal story of “The Trail of Tears” (Sept. 5).
It was a poignant story of man’s inhumanity to man (and woman), relating not only to the American Indian, but to all suppressed people--either by greed or self-righteousness, i.e. the railroad men of the 1800s and the Hitlers from, sadly, the beginning of time.
How really wonderful that we can still, thanks to Lee, be able to have the stories told of our brave Native Americans.

I believe the Travel section should inform its readers that the Duane King mentioned in this article as “one of the country’s best-known scholars of Indian culture” is director of the Southwest Museum here in Los Angeles.
