Publisher's Synopsis
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. Readers are taken 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.
