A Brutal Reckoning: The Creek Indians and the Epic War for the American South by Peter Cozzens is a powerful exploration of one of the darkest chapters in American history. This masterfully crafted narrative delves into the tumultuous era of the Creek War, highlighting its profound impact on the Native American tribes of the South.
In A Brutal Reckoning, Cozzens presents a riveting account that traverses centuries of conflict and cultural upheaval. From the early Spanish incursions in the 16th century to the relentless expansion of white settlers, the book captures the struggle of the Creek Indians and other tribes against encroaching forces. Readers will discover:
- The intricate web of alliances and tensions among Native Americans, white settlers, and colonial powers.
- The pivotal moments leading to the Creek War, the bloodiest conflict in Indian history, which propelled Andrew Jackson into the national spotlight.
- The tragic aftermath of the war, culminating in the Trail of Tears and the forced removal of entire nations from their ancestral lands.
Hailed as a master storyteller by The Times and recognized for his meticulous research by the Times Literary Supplement, Cozzens skillfully weaves history with gripping narrative, making A Brutal Reckoning both an educational and emotionally impactful read. This book not only chronicles a defining moment in the American South but also serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of Indigenous peoples in the face of adversity. It's an essential addition to any history enthusiast's collection, illuminating the complexities and consequences of this epic war.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
