Description
The Revolutionary War raged across the Atlantic, but its impact was felt far to the west. In 1780, Native Americans and British rangers clashed with American settlers on the Ohio River frontier in a series of brutal conflicts. As tensions escalated, Colonel George Rogers Clark led an army of Kentuckians into what is now Ohio to attack the principal Native American bases from which the raids emanated. On August 8, 1780, his forces clashed with an army of 450 Native Americans at the battle of Peckuwe, a conflict that would prove to be the largest on the Ohio River frontier during the Revolutionary War. This book tells the story of the Peckuwe battle and its significance in the wider context of the war.
