A contemporary of Daniel Boone, he led the fight for American freedom during the Revolutionary War. After settling in Kentucky, he became a revered public servant inside and outside the halls of Congress. Johnson not only helped write the state's initial constitution but also served Kentucky in the U.S. House, Senate, and as the state's 9th vice president. Yet Johnson was more than a politician. He was also a military strategist and hero. For his valiant service, Andrew Jackson promoted him to major general. The author explores how Johnson's charisma, grit, and integrity inspired his troops.
