William Henry Harrison and the Conquest of the Ohio Country stands as a worthy addition to any military historian's library, whether one is a specialist in the War of 1812, the army of the Early Republic period, or simply curious about this under-studied aspect of an under- studied war. Skaggs has included multiple maps, and a bibliographical essay which will benefit any scholar interested in beginning their own study of the period., Skaggs's book is a great read. It was thoroughly research and is filled with new insights about Harrison, and the editors at Johns Hopkins University Press did a wonderful job editing the book... An excellent contribution to the literature on Harrison and the army during the War of 1812. I recommend Skaggs's book without reservation as a must read for anyone who wants to understand Harrison's contributions to American victory during the War of 1812., In William Henry Harrison and the Conquest of the Ohio Country, David Curtis Skaggs sets out to craft a definitive assessment of the military career of Harrison from his initiation into the American army as an ensign in the summer of 1791 up to the resignation of his appointment as a Major General in May 1814... In the end this book succeeds in providing both a detailed analysis of Harrison's military career and an effective military history that explains well the successes and failures of the American military efforts in the northwestern theater in the War of 1812... Indeed, for any reader unfamiliar with the on the ground realities of logistics, military strategy, and wartime outcomes on land and lake in the War of 1812 in the Old Northwest, this book is an important read., Dave Skaggs, a lifelong student of the politics and wars of the Northwest Territory, has rescued Harrison from relative obscurity in this biography, researched in depth and written with grace... A worthy contribution to Donald Hickey's War of 1812 Bicentennial publication project, William Henry Harrison and the Conquest of the Ohio Country: Frontier Fighting in the War of 1812 reflects the author's deep understanding of the history of the Northwest Territory and its most memorable politic-military leader., Tracing William Henry Harrison's career from his service as aide-de-camp to General Anthony Wayne during the Fallen Timbers campaign through his resignation of his Major-General's commission in May 1814, Skaggs has produced a fine study... Skaggs offers valuable insight into the military history of Harrison's campaigns in the Ohio Country, a project which was long overdue., "" William Henry Harrison and the Conquest of the Ohio Country stands as a worthy addition to any military historian's library, whether one is a specialist in the War of 1812, the army of the Early Republic period, or simply curious about this under-studied aspect of an under- studied war.
