Description:
In The Creek War of 1813 and 1814, H. S. Halbert and T. H. Ball offer a vividly immersive and intricately researched account of the Creek War--a defining, yet often overlooked, chapter in America's expansion. Drawing on firsthand narratives and supplemented by a modern scholarly introduction, this updated edition captures both the perspectives of the Creek Nation and the complexities of early 19th-century geopolitics. From Tecumseh's stirring call for unity to the tragic massacres at Fort Mims and Burnt Corn, Halbert and Ball illuminate a conflict that reshaped the Southern frontier and echoed across a young nation.
Review Quotes: "This book is both a gem and a classic. . . . Halbert and Ball provide their readers with a remarkably full, generally sympathetic, and altogether indispensable account of the Indians' point of view in the 'Red Stick War.'"MastHead
