| Publisher Description: "History in Davis's hands is loud, coarse, painful, funny, irreverent--and memorable." 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. |
