About the Book
“History in Davis’s hands is loud, coarse, painful, funny, irreverent—and memorable.”
— San Francisco Chronicle
Following on his New York Times bestsellers America’s Hidden History and Don’t Know Much About History, Ken Davis explores the next chapter in the country’s hidden history: the gritty first half of the 19th century, among the most tumultuous in the nation’s short life.

Praise for America’s Hidden History: “American history in the vibrant narrative tradition of David McCullough.” — Ron Powers, author of Flags of Our Fathers
“Davis is a fine writer who uses a fast-moving narrative to tell these stories well... This is an informative and enjoyable work.” — Booklist
