i saw the cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. and in the chill of a drizzling rain on an october morning i saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west. . when the bugle sounded and the wagons started rolling many of the children rose to their feet and waved their little hands good-by to their mountain homes, knowing they were leaving them forever. many of these people did not have blankets and many of them had been driven from home barefooted.
on the morning of november the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on march the 26th, 1839, the sufferings of the cherokees were awful. the trail of the exiles was a trail of death. they had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. and i have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill treatment, cold, and exposure.
based on this excerpt, how would you describe the experiences of the cherokee during their removal?
