Description: "Drawing on previously unexploited primary sources, Belko illuminates the wide-ranging influence of Duff Green as land speculator, entrepreneur, lawyer, militia officer, politician, and newspaper editor. Disputing common assumption, Green is portrayed as a political moderate and independent westerner who played a fundamental role in the shaping of Jacksonian America"--Provided by publisher.
