"Ellisor has made a valuable contribution to Creek and southern history so that we will now know of the Second Creek War."—Julie Anne Sweet, Journal of American History
"Ellisor places a local conflict on a global stage. . . . An exceptional work, an easy read for both laymen and experienced scholars, and one that is a must for any scholar of the Creek, the American South, or Indian removal."—Jeff Washburn, Southern Historian
"For too long, the Second Creek War has awaited serious scholarly attention. On the basis of exhaustive research, formidable attention to detail, and sophisticated interpretation, the first monograph on this conflict is likely to be the last for years to come."—John W. Hall, Tennessee Historical Quarterly
"With lucid prose and convincing arguments, Ellisor recovers the difficulties that troubled both Creeks and White Americans only twenty years prior to the American Civil War. . . . The Second Creek War's substantive contribution to the evolving field of southern Native American history joins those of Claudio Saunt, Robbie Ethridge, Andrew Frank, and Cynthia Cumfer, among others. Like theirs, Ellisor's work deserves high praise."—Thomas Chase Hagood, Florida Historical Quarterly
"Ellisor's book should appeal to all those interested in Alabama history, for it provides a revealing new look at the complexity of the antebellum society and of Indian removal."—Christina Snyder, Alabama Review
"Ellisor's complex approach offers historians of the early American Republic much to consider as they look to expand their understanding of the United States within the larger global processes of the nineteenth century."—Daniel Flaherty, Historian
"Ellisor's book sheds new light on a very misunderstood period of our nation's history, an era that has been unfairly forgotten in many American textbooks."—Al Hemingway, Military Heritage
