1824: The Arkansas War by Eric Flit

This continues Flint's alternative history of the American frontier started in 1812: Rivers of War. If you read and liked the first one, you will like this one. Patrick Driscol and his companions have founded their own nation in the Arkansas territory. Elements in the United States want them destroyed and the large population of freedmen and escaped slaves returned to slavery. Lets just say it doesn't go well for the bad guys. Flint is very good at alternative history. It's well thought out. The historical character are true to themselves. Flint don't cut anyone any slack. And the story isn't boring talk, talk, talk. There is some of that. This is as much about the politics and action. Can't be helped. I want another in this series, but Flint has pretty much wrapped it up in two volumes so... Highly recommended.
