A modern Cherokee's journey to walk the Red Road, the path of spirituality.
TWO WOLVES refers to the Cherokee belief that two such creatures metaphorically live within a person, and that they are constantly battling. On is good, one is bad. Which one wins the fight depends on which one the person feeds. This spiritual book reveals with both brutal and beautiful honesty how the Cherokee author feed both determined Wolves before learning how to nourish only the Sacred Wolf. The author was the first person in the modern world to walk the 900 mile route of the Cherokee Trail of Tears, doing so to honor his ancestors and to inform the world what had happened to them in 1838. His book about that journey, Walking the Trail, One Man's Journey Along the Cherokee Trail of Tears, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize by Random House and has become a Native American classic, read by more than 500,000. The narrative of TWO WOLVES is interwoven with Cherokee history, mythology, and traditions, and Part One of this series introduces readers to the author's Cherokee hometown, his running away from it, his experiences with the Hell's Angels, Mr. Universe, and other bigger than life characters. One might also call the first installment of TWO WOLVES: One Man's Struggle to Walk the Red Road, the path of spiritual fulfillment. Book contains photos and some are historical images of famous Cherokee that once lived in the author's hometown.

Beautiful! A Must Read!
Ever question who you are? What's my pupose? Am I living life to its full potential? This 'manifesto' is practically an instruction manual for answering lifes great questions. Jerry guides you through his story, you're at his side. You walk each step, thumb each ride, take each risk. A beautiful heroic prose enables you to; hear the sounds, birds, cars, people; you smell the smells; you feel the wind, the excitement, the anxiety, you are there!
Some will read this and live vicariously through Jerry, a life of passion and dreams. But if you find in this, a strong similarity to your own story, then my kindered spirit, you won't turn the pages fast enough. This is the beginning of a story beautifully and spiritually told that follows -or does it lead- a host of journeys that many only dream. Jerry personifies the intense courage it takes to follow dreams, listen to your soul, live a life of no regrets. He opens up to you -a perfect stranger, a dear friend- his struggles, desires, fears, his pleasures, his guilt, his pride.
Perhaps you've read a previous book and feel you know him a bit. Or, you've read them all and feel you know him quite well. Either way, I urge you to read this -a most integral piece of the puzzle. Jerry captures with much more than words, fateful accounts that would eventually shape him into his current "hero material" self.
Having read this, you may better understand yourself, your desires, your past, your future, LIFE. Its mysteries, it's pleasures and dangers, its seductions and threats. You may even discover your own dreams.
Will this book give you answers to who Jerry is? or to who you are? Read it and find out!
