On April 19, 1783, Washington ordered his soldiers to go home. No one favored a peace-time army. Yet the years that followed saw the young nation embark on a dramatic surge of expansion that demanded the military as national protectors. This book is the story of the army in its new multifaceted role as the agent of the republic during the period of 1783 to 1846. It is the story of federal troops called up to enforce paper possession with physical occupation when treaty and purchase opened up the region from the Appalachians west to the Mississippi and the vast new frontiers in the Louisiana Territory. At Fallen Timbers, Tippecanoe, and the Thames, the federal military forces met the early challenge from the Indian nations and their British allies. The Sword of the Republic recounts the wars, the construction of western forts, and the tragic saga of the removal of Indians from the East. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
