The Confederation of Arkansas is an independent nation populated by free blacks and five Native American tribes, and its existence is resented by pro-slavery factions in the US. The historical characters who inhabit this hypothetical situation are vividly portrayed - JQ Adams, Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, William Henry Harrison, Henry Clay, Zachary Taylor...

I want, nay, NEED, the next book to come out. The whispers in the aether says there is at least one more story to be told, but Flint is so prolific that I don't know when it will ever happen. This is a worthy sequel to 1812: Rivers of War and if you read the first one and enjoy it (as any bibliophile probably will), you will be very pleased with the progression of this story. The pathos, adventure, and pure emotion in this story grabbed me by the heartstrings. I didn't think it was possible for the series to get better, but it did. Do not read this book first; with some series you can get away with reading out of order, but I don't feel this is one of them.
