Steve Inskeep, "Jacksonland"
In his second book, Inskeep, long-time NPR Morning Edition co-host, award-winning investigative journalist, and author of Instant City, gives events of the 1820s and ‘30s the immediacy of today’s headlines. 1828 saw the elections of Andrew Jackson as president and John Ross as tribal chief of the Cherokee. Once allies, the men clashed violently over land belonging to the Five Civilized Tribes, and in their struggle, which involved civil disobedience by women as well as men, Inskeep sees the groundwork of later social and political movements.
