"The Wilderness War is the fourth and final book in the Winning America Series. This wasn't my favorite Eckert book, who wrote my favorite book of all time (The Frontiersmen). I guess it was like reading about the Titanic...you know how the story is going to end before it begins.
The Wilderness War deals with the Western Front of the Revolutionary War. America was not only fighting the British for independence, it was fighting the Iroquois Nation. Wilderness War picks up where Wilderness Empire leaves off. (the second book in the series)
Wilderness War has so many references, that had me flipping to the back of the book, that it got a bit tedious. There is just more information to reference from this time period compared the other three books.
"This is called historical narrative. Not quite history, but not fiction. Whatever, it is a compelling story of the struggle between England and France in the 1760's when the Iroquos confederation and other Indian tribes had the ability to influence events."
