Robert V. Haynes, former professor of history at Western Kentucky University, is the author of A Night of Violence: The Houston Riot of 1917. He lives in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
"Haynes's book will be as close to the definitive history of Mississippi Territory as will ever be written.... Rarely do we encounter an author who has so thoroughly mastered the sources, who so clearly understands the complex issues, and who shows such total familiarity with the major players. In addition, Haynes's prose is a genuine pleasure to read." - John D.W. Guice, coauthor of The Old Southwest, 1795-1830: Frontiers in Conflict"
