St. Clair’s Defeat by Dwayne Walker

St. Clair’s Defeat by Dwayne Walker
Native American History, Volume 1
Publisher: Dwayne Walker (October 2015)
80 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $2.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars

This is a short book about the little known catastrophic defeat of St. Clair and his men at the hands of the Native Americans during the Northwest Indian War in 1791. Interesting, factual read with a scholarly textbook feel. Well organized, with extensive Table of Contents in the ebook edition for easy maneuvering. The text was a bit repetitious at times, and there were a few attempts at reconstructing dialogue that were scattered throughout the text, but they felt  a bit contrived and random, and could have just as well been left out. Nonetheless, a nice little introduction to an often forgotten topic of American history, which has inspired me to want to read more on the topic!
