The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers.
The
bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It’s 1811 and
President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior
chief Tecumseh’s alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while
General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict
between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage
on for decades.
Bestselling authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin
Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country’s founding on
already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson’s brutal battles
with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe’s epic “sea to shining
sea” policy, to President Martin Van Buren’s cruel enforcement of a
“treaty” that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along
what would be called the Trail of Tears. O’Reilly and Dugard take
readers behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical
moments in the fascinating creation story of America.
This
fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock readers
and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.
