MASTER OF ALTERNATE HISTORY ERIC FLINT TAKES ON JACKSONIAN AMERICA
In this alternate history of the American frontier and the Jacksonian
era, a small change takes place in the Battle of the Horseshoe Bend
during the War of 1812. What results is a cascade of new developments
that becomes an avalanche. In our world, Ensign Sam Houston, just turned
21, led the charge on the creek barricade in that battle and almost died
from a terrible wound that took him a year to recover from. In this
world, his wound is minor, so he is able to continue fighting the
British--and develop his close relationship with Andrew Jackson much
sooner.
Along with a radical Scots-Irish immigrant in the U.S. army, Patrick
Driscoll--one of "the Men of '98"--Houston organizes a defense of the
U.S. Capitol that prevents the British from destroying it and makes him
a national hero. He and Driscoll then play a central role in the defense
of New Orleans under Jackson's command. They change the course of that
battle in ways that will, over time, transform the relationship between
the United States, the Indian tribes of the south, and the slaves
brought over from Africa.
