Reviews

"An exhaustively researched, richly textured account of an important and understudied event of the Jacksonian period. This is a book that all scholars of the period will consult to understand the origins, events, and resolution of that deadly, destructive event." Thomas Summerhill, author of Harvest of Dissent: Agrarianism in Nineteenth-Century New York
