ABOUT THIS BOOK
The Sixty Years' War for the Great Lakes contains twenty essays concerning not only military and naval operations, but also the political, economic, social, and cultural interactions of individuals and groups during the struggle to control the great freshwater lakes and rivers between the Ohio Valley and the Canadian Shield. Contributing scholars represent a wide variety of disciplines and institutional affiliations from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain.
Collectively, these important essays delineate the common thread, weaving together the series of wars for the North American heartland that stretched from 1754 to 1814. The war for the Great Lakes was not merely a sideshow in a broader, worldwide struggle for empire, independence, self-determination, and territory. Rather, it was a single war, a regional conflict waged to establish hegemony within the area, forcing interactions that divided the Great Lakes nationally and ethnically for the two centuries that followed.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY David Curtis Skaggs is Professor Emeritus of History, Bowling Green State University. He has written numerous books, including A Signal Victory: The Lake Erie Campaign, 1812-1813. Larry L. Nelson is the author of Men of Patriotism, Courage and Enterprise: Fort Meigs and the War of 1812 and other works.
