David Edmunds, Journal of American History "In this splendid little book, Anthony F.C. Wallace surveys the making and the legacy of a monumental tragedy, as seen from all sides. Wallace's exactness, concision, and calmness of tone render his account all the more powerful and instructive."--Sean Wilentz, Princeton University, "This informative, insightful, and sobering study deserves the attention of all who would understand American Indian policy, not just in Jackson's period but in our own."--Howard Lamar, Yale University "Lucidly written, free of professional jargon, and a good synthesis of Jacksonian Indian policy and the Native American response."--R.
