What he came up with was not an alphabet, but rather a syllabary, where each symbol stands for a combination of sounds. Sequoyah's syllabary contains eighty-six characters. It was indeed a travesty that so many suffered on the Trail Of Tears, but to say it is forgotten is not true. I suppose that it is much like any other state's history, this is Ok and we were taught the History, if you are in another state then we were not taught it. I am sure that all the states involved in the removing of the Indians, were taught the History. I am going to say we were taught the entire History because OK is where they ended up, so we got the compleat course, as opposed to some that may have been taught only their states part in that history. There is a vast amount of history, that has been published on the web. If you wish to learn more just go to google and type in Oklahome and Trail Of Tears. You can even find a picture of Sequoyah, and a lot of information on his cabin. I have been there many times.
