I just the read the War With Native Americans chapter.

It is a quick summary of these wars. After just reading a big book on part of this, I felt a lot was omitted but of course it was.

There were many typos and grammar errors.

It might work as an introduction but only that.

Filled with drama and action. I found a new favorite book when the union finally defeated the british in yorktown. I am currently in the middle of the “Civil War” chapter. Can’t wait to see who comes out on top in this one.
