There is an untold side of the American Revolution; a forgotten, lost war fought within the context of that better known war for American independence from Great Britain. It is an untold story surrounded by mystery and misconception to this day because of the very nature of what happened. While Washington’s patriot armies were battling British redcoats in set-piece actions across the colonies in the East, a war of a far different nature was being conducted in the West to determine who was to control the frontier and Indian lands of the upper Ohio River Valley, and the Ohio Country to its west. It was fought without fixed boundaries or large armies, without accepted rules of engagement, or agreed-upon noncombatants. (2003), 2005, 6x9, paper, index, 654 pp.

The untold stories from the other side of the battlefield of the wilderness war. Long and detailed but easy to read, I dropped it one star for lack good mapping, easy to get lost. The author, Alan Fitzpatrick, has tapped a gold mine of history.

Thanks Mr. Fitzpatrick. I wanted to send you a note telling you how much I appreciate and admire this book. I am doing a thesis for an M.A. in American History, on my great x5 grandfather, Ebenezer Zane. Your book has done a lot to help be expand on the information I have been able to glean about Zane from elsewhere. Thanks for an outstanding contribution to the history of our country (and to my thesis!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Fills in Much History
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2020
I purchased a signed copy of this book from the author at The Great Trail Festival years ago and finally got around to reading it. By providing information on the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War that fully incorporates the American Indian, British, and loyalist perspectives Mr. Fitzpatrick really fills in much American history. As another reviewer mentioned, the frequent use of the word "savages" for the Native Americans does not wear well, nor do phrases like "the four men and the Negro." Also a bit problematic are the inconsistencies of spelling and capitalization, such as the same person being named Katherine and Catherine in the same paragraph. I'm surprised that some of these inconsistencies weren't caught, because I own the "New Revised Second Edition." Overlooking those details, this is an engaging, well-researched, and thorough history of the several wars that were fought east of the Mississippi River and west of the 13 colonies/states up to 1783.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015

It is a very good book that is well written. The only complaint I have is the Indians are continually referred to as savages and other derogatory terms. That was their culture and had worked well for them for millennia. Of course at the time that is how they were viewed. I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging Read!
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019
A wonderful job at balancing so much detail and getting it to be a spellbinding read! I had a few family ancestors who were involved in the frontier in this era. The background stories in this book added so much life to their stories! Well documented and well presented. The narration flows from New England, Upstate New York and Canada through Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and Illinois in addition to the Ohio Country. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Fitzpatrick at a Revolutionary War reenactment at Fort Laurens in Bolivar Ohio. His engaging personality is mirrored in the writing of this fascinating view of the life and times on the frontier. If you are a history buff or just want to know more about what happened to shape the area you live in, you will love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for serious students of Unconventional Warfare
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2014
150 years before T.E. Lawrence successfully led Arab tribal warriors in a guerrilla war against the Turks, and 200 years before US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) successfully trained and led montagnard tribesmen against Viet Cong forces, a Montreal-born French infantry captain led a force of 637 north American Indian warriors and 200 French infantry and Canadien militia soldiers against a numerically superior force of British regulars and American colonial militia numbering 3,000 under the command of British general Braddock and George Washington. The setting: the Monongehela river near present day Pittsburgh, PA. The results: a stunning defeat of the British-American force, which suffered over 1,000 casualties including General Braddock, who died during the retreat. The French and their Indian allies suffered only 21 men killed. Included among the French dead was Daniel Hyacinthe Marie Lienard de Beaujeu, the mastermind of the French and Indian victory. Like Green Berets serving in Afghanistan today, Captain de Beaujeu was a fine example of a "force multiplier". He was able to leverage his knowledge of Indian language, customs, and style of fighting to gain the trust of those tribes and ultimately lead them to victory. DE OPPRESSO LIBER...

I agree with the reviewer above that it would have been good to have maps included in this work. This is the only thing I would say that could have made a fine work even finer. I would recommend this book to anyone with a background or an interest in the unconventional warfare side of special operations...
