Description

A comprehensive take a look at the brutal wilderness war that secured The us’s independence…

With Musket and Tomahawk is a vivid account of the American and British struggles within the sprawling wilderness region of the northeast all over the Revolutionary War. Combining strategic, tactical, and personal detail, this book describes how the patriots of the recently organized Northern Army defeated England’s massive onslaught of 1777, thereby all but ensuring The us’s independence.

Conceived and launched by top-ranking British military leaders to shatter and suppress the revolting colonies, Britain’s three-pronged thrust was once meant to separate New England from the remainder of the nascent nation along the line of the Hudson River. Thus divided, both the northern and southern colonies could have been defeated in detail, unable to offer mutual assistance against further attacks.

Yet, in spite of intense planning and vast efforts, Britain’s campaign resulted in disaster when General John Burgoyne, with 6,000 soldiers, emerged from a woodline and surrendered his army to the Patriots at Saratoga in October 1777.

Underneath the umbrella of Saratoga, countless battles and skirmishes were waged from the borders of Canada southward to Ticonderoga, Bennington, and West Point. Heroes on both sides were created by the score, regardless that only one side proved victorious, amid a tapestry of madness, cruelty, and hardship in what can rightfully be referred to as “the terrible Wilderness War of 1777”.
