Explanation:

Michael Rutledge is a citizenship of the Cherokee nation, which is one of the largest tribes of Cherokees in the U.S., and author of the "Samuel's memory" that is part of a longer paper called "Forgiveness in the Age of Forgetfulness". "Samuel's memory"  is about the life and experiences of Michael great grandfather Samuel Cloud on the Trail of Tears, a historical process during the 19th century in which Native Americans were forced to leave their ancestral homelands and relocate in new areas. In this paper, the way Samuel  Cloud experienced this relocation as a kid is told, especially by emphasizing the difficult conditions and suffering for the Indian tribes this process implied as they had to walk for a long time and face difficult situation mainly forced by white people of people that do not belong to the tribes.

Thus, the main reason why Michael Rutledge wrote "Samuel's Memory" was to remind people of the suffering American Indians endured on the Trail of Tears as this paper tells the experience of one of the American Indians that was forced to relocate along with his tribe and all the sufferings he had to face as a result of this process. Also, Rutledge believed most people had already forgotten about this situation and did not remember the negative impact the relocation had on the American Indian Tribes.
