COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION
Ill-Fated Frontier is at once a pioneer adventure and a
compelling narrative of the frictions that emerged among
entrepreneurial pioneers and their sixty slaves, Indians fighting
to preserve their land, and Spanish colonials with their own
agenda. Here is a turbulent and visceral portrait of the wild
American frontier in 1789 that begins with an optimistic plan
and ends with the body of one of the
expedition&#8217sleaders returning to New Jersey pickled in
a barrel of rum. What happened in between lies at the center
of this fascinating account by Harvard historian Samuel A.
Forman. It is a startling and frank portrait of an emerging
United States that examines the dream of an inclusive
American experience and its reality&#8212adebate that
continues today. Imperious Revolutionary War antihero
General David Forman contrives a huge land grant at Natchez,
Spanish West Florida. Intending to create a plantation empire,
he entrusts his naive young cousin Samuel S. Forman and
experienced overseer Benajah Osman to drive the
general&#8217ssixty enslaved African Americans across
2,400 dangerous frontier miles. The general chooses the same
grueling overland and river trek as had Dr. Antoine Saugrain, a
disastrous choice for the Frenchman. Proceeding from home
in New Jersey, the Americans face abolitionist women and
Chief Little Turtle&#8217srelentless warriors. Enslaved
matriarch Ginnie and her fellow unwilling pioneers toe the
narrow line between loyalty to the masters and the temptation
of freedom. At the new territory, the Formans encounter suave
Spanish colonials and a colorful horde of expat settlers, while
the enslaved take on the herculean labors of building the
future Cotton Kingdom. Lively, impeccably researched, and
rich in details that have escaped the usual tales of American

growth and enterprise, Ill-Fated Frontier shines new and
entertaining light on what it means to be an American.
