Andrew Jackson & His Indian Wars by Robert Vincent Remini

The expulsion of Native Americans from the eastern half of the continent to the Indian Territory beyond the Mississippi River remains one of the most notorious events in US history, and the man most responsible and most widely blamed for their removal is Andrew Jackson. Robert Remini, hailed by the New York Times as our foremost Jacksonian scholar, now provides a thought-provoking analysis of this single most controversial aspect of Jackson's long career. Masterfully capturing Jackson's flaws and limitations as well as his heroism, Remini contends that, despite the injustice and atrocities that accompanied the removal, Jackson in fact ensured the tribes' survival. This is at once an exuberant work of American history and a sobering reminder of the violence and darkness at the heart of that history.

For more than half a century, Robert V.Remini, historian of the United States House of Representatives, has been teaching and writing on American history. He is the author of more than twenty books, including The Life of Andrew Jackson, a three-volume biography that won the National Book Award in 1984. Biographies of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Quincy Adams, and Joseph Smith are among his other works. The Western Writers of America awarded his Andrew Jackson and His Indian Warfare the Spur Award for best western nonfiction. He currently resides in Wilmette, Illinois.
