Summary: Lacking in Literary Merit
Comment: It is often said that history is written by those who win it. In Joel Martin's Sacred Revolt, the effort is made to stem the tide of assumption, broad generalization, and one-sided commentary of Southeastern American history. Unfortunately, this noble idea is unattainable in a historical monograph that falls prey to the same falliabilities as the histories it critiques. Due to the author being raised in the South,( born in Opelika, Alabama several miles from the actual site of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend of 1814) he is biased toward the subject. Martin's quest for the redemption of this particular piece of history is influenced greatly by his own beliefs. Interpreting, and thereby changing, history to suit his own needs makes this piece uncomfortably similar to the works it condemns. All this in additiion to an editor who seems to have given up half way through, has the reader questioning whether or not the author ever enrolled in English 101.
