Book Synopsis
Weaves together scientific and historical evidence to demonstrate the vast role the New Madrid earthquakes played in the United States in the early nineteenth century, shaping the settlement patterns of early western Cherokees and other Indians, heightening the credibility of Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa for their Indian League in the War of 1812.

Trade Review
"Through deep research, acute perception, and lovely writing, Conevery Bolton Valencius has taken one of the great natural events of early America and made of it a revelation of its time-its scientific practice and thinking and its people's understanding of the land, of themselves, and even of their spirituality and relation to the divine. A masterful blend of the history of science and society." (Elliott West, University of Arkansas)"
