Description
The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers.
The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It’s 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh’s alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades.
Bestselling authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country’s founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson’s brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe’s epic “sea to shining sea” policy, to President Martin Van Buren’s cruel enforcement of a “treaty” that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears. O’Reilly and Dugard take readers behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America.
This fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock readers and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.
Reviews
Amazing Book
5By BirdoWorkyI loved this book. If you want an overall history of what went on in the late 1800s between the US government and the Indians, then this is the book for you. The authors are incredible at painting the picture of every battle, every surrender, and every interaction between these men and women. I highly recommend this book, just like I do all of the “Killing” books.Ore illy and Dugard do it again
5By MJWVermontFantastic action packed writing. Meticulously researched and presented. Descriptive chronology of political leaders once again showing a lack of integrity. Well done!Well Done

1By Pioneer ancesterProbably the most accurate history of the wars on Native Americans, and the brutality on all sides.One of the best Killing books so far
5By HUGHESFAM33I thought Killing England was the best of the Killing series until I read Killing Crazy Horse. Absolutely the best so far. The little details is what keeps me hooked on the Killing books and Killing Crazy Horse doesn’t disappoint!Unbiased Native American History
5By Louie's I TunesAn unbiased history of the white man breaking countless promises to native Americans.Another great book from O’Reilly and Dugard
5By Red2184Having read all of the Bill O’Reilly’s and Martin Dugard Killing Series books, this is another rehash of history but with creative organization and, as is usual, exceptional writing. This book is an easy but interesting quick read. In my opinion this book would qualify to be mandatory reading in our high schools. It is a great recounting of how and why our country was settled from east to west and how shameful the Indians have been treated. My thank you, again, to Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard. Well done!
