Two more reviews for Prof. Miller’s book

Two excellent reviews have recently been published. 

Dr. H. William Batt gives the book 5 stars and states that Miller has written “an important book.  It is well written, well organized, and well documented.  It should influence a number of fields – history, economics, and law most of all.”

The magazine Choice, a reviewer of books for academic libraries, gives Miller’s book an “Essential” rating, its highest recommendation.  The review states that “Miller’s important book . . . walks readers through deep, consistent evidence that Thomas Jefferson patterned his Louisiana expansionism upon the legal pretexts of discovery, setting up removal in the process.  Miller carefully traces the racist, greedy religiosity of Manifest Destiny next used to seize Indian land, especially in Oregon, showing it also as the basis for laws applied to Native Americans that appallingly continue in effect into the present.  A must read.”
