商品簡介
Aften remembered as the president who died shortly after taking office, William Henry Harrison was instrumental in shaping American Indian policy during the early years of westward expansion. More than a study of Harrison the man, Mr. Jefferson's Hammer offers a cultural biography that surveys the military, political, and social world of the Ohio Valley and the frontier.
Robert M. Owens traces Harrison's political career as secretary of the Northwest Territory, territorial delegate to Congress, and governor of Indiana Territory, as well as his military leadership and involvement with Indian relations. Thomas Jefferson found Harrison the ideal agent to carry out his administration's ruthless campaign to extinguish Indian land titles. To this day, we live with the echoes of Harrison's proclamations, the boundaries set by his treaties, and the ramifications of his actions.
"A thorough and engaging account of how the man who became Tecumseh's nemesis . . . built his career on dispossessing American Indians of their lands and advancing the expansionist policies of the new nation." author of One Vast Winter Count: The Native American West before Lewis and Clark
"A well-written and well-researched account, in which Harrison is effectively placed in a broader context of Virginia and American poltical culture in early national America."author of Expansion and American Indian Policy. 1783-1812
"A cogent and compelling addition to the scholarship of Indian-white relations, the frontier, and the culture andpolitics of the early nineteenth century."
