A historical drama-laden chapter from America's frontier in this narrative to the early days of our country and explores the impact of the National Bank and its impact on the economy. The author has a Jacksonian view.
The story is of Jonathan Blair, two-fisted, buckskin-clad attorney, who in 1820 matched wits and muscle against the cold-blooded leader of the indigenous Wyandots in the frontier territories, and rashly defied the power and authority of the U.S. Bank and the strong man who symbolized it. This was a life and death struggle at a time when 40 conflicting currencies embattled the land; and the color of your money could be a shooting matter.
