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. Gaff's account brings to light alliances between Indian
forces and the British military, demonstrating that British troops
still conducted operations on American soil long after the supposed
end of the American Revolution.
