Frontier Rebels: The Fight for Independence in the American West, 1765–1776 By Patrick Spero

Abstract

The frontier typically receives scant attention in narratives about the American Revolution, with most of the memorable events centered on seaport towns like Boston, but Patrick Spero’s engaging Frontier Rebels: The Fight for Independence in the American West, 1765–1776 places the frontier at the center of the march to revolution.
