About This Book

Set in the Muscogee frontier, the narrative follows two young settlers and a Cherokee companion as they encounter Red Stick Creek bands, endure ambushes, capture, and raids culminating in the Fort Mims assault, and tracks the military response led by Andrew Jackson through skirmishes at Tallushatchee and the decisive Horseshoe action; chapters alternate tense camp and battle scenes with imprisonment and revolt episodes, concluding with a condensed account of Andrew Jackson's life and leadership, and exploring themes of survival, cultural collision, and the harsh realities of frontier warfare.
