The latest release from Global Heritage Press (an imprint of GlobalGenalogy.com Inc.) is
No Despicable Enemy, 1779: The Continental Army destroys Indian Territory By Gavin K. Watt.
Here's the publisher's blurb:
This 440 page book opens with a summary of the incredibly complex, worldwide conflict of 1779, which had sprung from America's four-year revolt, and explains the inability of the Crown's commanders in New York City and Quebec to keep pace with their ever-expanding challenges. General Washington seized this opportunity to punish the northern native nations, whose raiding had so dominated the previous campaign. His armies invaded their territories, razed their towns and destroyed their extensive crops and orchards.
His primary goal was to force these British allies out of the war, although an apparent secondary goal was to prepare for the postwar expansion of the United States. While Washington's campaign was a technical success, the goal of destroying native morale failed. Three more years of intense raiding followed.
Loaded with detail and backed up with detailed source citations, this book is an esential read for those who are interested in the American Revolution and the Experieinces of their United Empire Loyalist ancestors. Available in printed and digital formats.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a 'must read' for me.
