[A]n excellent book about the era just after the American Revolution in the Ohio River Valley and the Northwest Territory... a must for anyone who wants to know about early American history or the history of the Native Americans trying to defend their land., In War Along the Wabash , historian Steven Locke recounts the events leading to the November 4, 1791 Native victory over an American army led by Arthur St. Clair deep within the Old Northwest frontier. The battle remains the worst defeat ever inflicted on the United States military. In vivid and evocative prose, Locke describes the moment when one of the most talented and consequential generations of Native leadership in American history confronted the young republic's Founding Fathers with devastating results. War along the Wabash is a compelling retelling of one of the most pivotal events in the nation's early history., War Along the Wabash is a superb analysis of one of America's worst military disasters. I heartily recommend it., [T]he book itself is a delight. War Along the Wabash is very well written and will engross readers familiar with the period and novices alike., Locke provides such a vivid and multifaceted back story to life in untamed Ohio territory that the reader is transported back to 1791 as one of the participants. When Major General Arthur St. Clair and his squabbling officers lead an unharmonious Army into the deep woods north of the Ohio River chasing after fierce warrior of a unified Indian confederacy, one wants to bolt with the deserters for Kentucky with each felled tree and reduction in daily rations. The result is a brutal, bloody, and heartbreaking American debacle along the frigid banks of the Wabash. This is a scandalous and cautionary tale of how even the most experienced of combat leaders can be lulled into ignoring his own failing health, the fading morale of his men, and the overstretched supply lines of his forces while embarking upon grand missions with confusing aims--all in pursuit of 'glory'., War Along the Wabash is an excellent introduction to the Washington Administration's Indian policy as well as that of the post-revolutionary United States and a guide to a significant, but often overlooked battle of the early Indian Wars., On Nov. 4, 1791, two and a half years after George Washington's inauguration, the infant United States of America suffered its first national disaster. That day, an Ohio Indian army, led by a host of celebrated commanders, met the new U.S. Army in the woods of western Ohio. In three hours of battle, the Indians destroyed the U.S. Army, killing many famous heroes of the Revolutionary War. Historian Steven P. Locke's War Along the Wabash , which addresses that colorful event, reviews in admirable detail what happened, and captures much of the horror that those who were there experienced., Rescuing from an undeserved obscurity one of the great triumphs of 18th Century Native Americans over the U. S. Military, War Along the Wabash is a seminal work of meticulous research and scholarship.

Synopsis
On the banks of the Wabash River, Ohio, a small, lightly armed band of Native American warriors defend their homeland and defeat an American army, forcing a fundamental shift in how the fledgling United States wages war., Finalist, 2023 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards On November 4, 1791, a coalition of warriors determined to set the Ohio River as a permanent boundary between tribal lands and white settlements faced an army led by Arthur St. Clair--the resulting horrific struggle ended in the greatest defeat of an American army at the hands of Native Americans.The road to the battle of the Wabash began when Arthur St. Clair was appointed to lead an army into the heart of the Ohio Indian Confederacy while building a string of fortifications along the way. He would face difficulties in recruiting, training, feeding, and arming volunteer soldiers. From the moment St. Clair's shattered force began its retreat from the Wabash the men blamed the officers, and the officers in turn blamed their men. For over two centuries most historians have blamed either the officer corps, enlisted soldiers, an entangled logistical supply line, poor communications, or equipment. The destruction of the army resulted in a stunned Congress authorizing a regular army in 1792.This book, the result of 30 years' research, puts the battle into the context of the last quarter of the 18th century, exploring how the central importance of land ownership to Europeans arriving in North America resulted in unrelenting demographic pressure on indigenous tribes, as well as the enormous obstacles standing in the way of the fledgling American Republic in paying off its enormous war debts.This is the story of how a small band of determined indigenous peoples defended their homeland, destroyed an invading American army, and forced a fundamental shift in the way in which the United States waged war.
