Favorite entry from the last year

John Scalzi's weekend challenge is to identify our own favorite post from the last year.

My pick would be Old Hickory and the Indians from 04/08/04.  It's a review of a book by the leading Andrew Jackson scholar on Jackson's policies toward the American Indians.

Since I've named this blog after Old Hickory, it's only right that I pick one of my Andy Jackson posts for this exercise.  But I really do like the post.  It gives an idea about how complicated it can get when you try to romanticize or demonize an actual historical figure.
