Tom Hand
America Victorious: Lesser-Known Campaigns and Commanders That Helped Win American Independence
From the publisher
America Victorious, written by Tom Hand, shares engaging stories of some of the lesser-known men who fought our country’s battles in countless places across our young nation.
From the Minutemen who fired the “shot heard round the world” at Lexington and Concord, to Nathanael Greene’s exploits in the southern theater, to George Rogers Clark’s conquest of the Illinois and Ohio Country, the book is filled with interesting tales of the heroic deeds that secured our country’s independence. By examining these struggles against all odds, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the men who fought the good fight for eight long years with little to sustain them except their innate courage and their dream of a land in which they could chart their own destiny.
These stories, along with more than 150 images and nearly two dozen beautifully detailed maps, celebrate the indomitable American spirit and the perseverance that allowed our forefathers to overcome extraordinary odds. Written with a patriotic tone, America Victorious seeks to inspire renewed appreciation and love of country.
