The Wilderness War
1978


Volume IV of The Winning of America (Narratives of America) Series. Occurring in 1779, this narrative history chronicles the day-by day, step-by-step march of the United States Army under Major General John Sullivan to destroy the Iroquois Indians, as ordered by Commander-in-Chief George Washington. Based on the numerous diaries, letters and official reports by the actual members of the expedition, it is a compelling account of the first major war waged by the new American government against the Indians and takes place primarily in eastern Pennsylvania and much of New York State. Originally published in 1978 by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, MA. and in paperback in 1979 by Bantam, NYC. Having gone out of print after 16 years in hardcover and 19 years in paperback, this volume and the other five volumes in The Winning of America (Narratives of America) are presently being reprinted by The Jesse Stuart Foundation, Ashland, Kentucky.
