Jacksonland
President Andrew Jackson, Cherokee Chief John Ross, and a Great American Land Grab
Steve Inskeep
Jacksonland is a gripping account of two men who represented the United States and Cherokee Nation during a constitutional crisis, Andrew Jackson and John Ross. While Jackson led the massive displacement of Native Americans known as the Trail of Tears, Ross stood up for the tribes using the United States’ legal system and democratic ideals to oppose Jackson. Renowned journalist Steve Inskeep, cohost of NPR’s Morning Edition, presents a heart-stopping narrative masterpiece that feels ripped from the headlines in its immediacy, drama, and relevance to our lives.
