From the Back Cover
It was a road traveled by such men as Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, and Meriwether Lewis. It was a highway for ruthless robbers, rugged pioneers, settlers, and soldiers-the whole company of those ready with grasping hands to seize a continent. In The Devil's Backbone, Jonathan Daniels takes the reader over this old trail, exploring the dramatic story of the Natchez Trace in detail.
Here is a story of the people who crossed a wilderness to build America. Here flourishes the American dream of men and women moving for God, for glory, and for gold. The Devil's Backbone is as richly varied as the mysteries, the tragedies, and romances that accompanied the changing, colorful parades of travelers along it.
