Summary:
In Bayonets in the Wilderness, Alan D. Gaff explores a long-neglected
period in American history to tell the complete story of how the U.S.
Army conquered the first American frontier--the Northwest Territory.
Wayne's successful campaign led to the creation of a standing army
for the country and set the standard for future conflicts and
treaties with American Indians. Countering the popular impression of
Wayne as "mad," Gaff depicts him as a thoughtful, resolute, and
diplomatic officer whose masterfully organized campaign brought an
end in 1794 to forty years of border fighting.
