Buchanan resurrects the remarkable man behind the legend, bringing to life the thrilling details of frontier warfare and of Jackson's exploits as an Indian fighter-and reassessing the vilification that has since been heaped on him because of his Indian policy. Culminating with Jackson's defeat of the British at New Orleans-the stunning victory that made him a national hero-this gripping narrative shows us how a people's obsession with land and opportunity and their charismatic leader's quest for an empire produced what would become the United States of America that we know today.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0471282537\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9780471282532\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"John Buchanan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43185566384344,"sku":"9780471282532","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/9780471282532_FC_mockup_v2_1740153245_64e832f6-718c-4b11-b38f-0506f90b2c81.jpg?v=1790991817"},{"product_id":"the-road-to-guilford-courthouse","title":"The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolution in the Carolinas","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eA brilliant account of the proud and ferocious American fighters who stood up to the British forces in savage battles crucial in deciding both the fate of the Carolina colonies and the outcome of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A tense, exciting historical account of a little known chapter of the Revolution, displaying history writing at its best.\"--\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"His compelling narrative brings readers closer than ever before to the reality of Revolutionary warfare in the Carolinas.\"--\u003cem\u003eRaleigh News \u0026amp; Observer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Buchanan makes the subject come alive like few others I have seen.\" --Dennis Conrad, Editor, \u003cem\u003eThe Nathanael Greene Papers\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"John Buchanan offers us a lively, accurate account of a critical period in the War of Independence in the South.
