A comprehensive history of the brutal wilderness war that secured America's independence in 1777 -- by an author with "a flair for vivid detail" (Library Journal).

With Musket and Tomahawk is a vivid account of the American and British struggles in the sprawling wilderness region of the American northeast during the Revolutionary War. Combining strategic, tactical, and personal detail, historian Michael Logusz describes how the patriots of the newly organized Northern Army defeated England's massive onslaught of 1777, all but ensuring America's independence.

Britain's three-pronged thrust was meant to separate New England from the rest of the young nation. Yet, despite its superior resources, Britain's campaign was a disaster. Gen. John Burgoyne emerged from a woodline with six thousand soldiers to surrender to the Patriots at Saratoga in October 1777.

Within the Saratoga campaign, countless battles and skirmishes were waged from the borders of Canada to Ticonderoga, Bennington, and West Point. Heroes on both sides were created by the score amid the madness, cruelty, and hardship of what can rightfully be called the terrible Wilderness War of 1777.
