Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the Battle of Point Pleasant, a significant conflict between colonial troops and Native American forces in 1774. The author explores the battle's historical context, examining the complex political landscape of pre-Revolutionary War America, and the tensions between the colonies and the British Crown. A central theme is the role of Lord Dunmore, the Governor of Virginia, whose actions and motivations during the conflict come under scrutiny. The author investigates allegations of Dunmore's duplicity and his potential efforts to undermine the colonial cause by instigating conflict with Native American tribes. Additionally, the book delves into the lives and contributions of key figures such as Andrew Lewis, commander of the colonial troops, and his family's legacy in shaping American history. The narrative sheds light on the often-overlooked significance of the Battle of Point Pleasant, arguing that it served as a catalyst for the Revolutionary War. By examining the battle's impact on the colonists' fight for independence, the author challenges conventional historical perspectives and underscores the pivotal role of this conflict in the broader struggle for American liberty.
