The Revolution Washington didn’t fight - and couldn’t have won without.Everyone knows Valley Forge. Everyone knows Yorktown. But while Washington held the line in the north, other men were winning the war in places he never set foot.Nathanael Greene won the entire Southern campaign without winning a battle. George Rogers Clark marched 170 men through freezing floodwater to expand America’s borders by hundreds of thousands of square miles. Benedict Arnold lost his fleet on a lake - and saved the Revolution in the process. And in August 1782, ten months after Yorktown, Kentucky militia were still dying in a war the history books had already ended.Forgotten Battles tells ten stories that changed the outcome of the Revolution and have been largely forgotten. Written for readers who love history and hate being told they already know it.Perfect for fans of David McCullough, Nathaniel Philbrick, and Ron Chernow.
