More about the book

The narrative explores a significant uprising by Native American tribes against British colonial rule from 1763 to 1764, highlighting their strategic assaults on nine forts and successful sieges, including those of Forts Detroit and Pitt. This coalition achieved a negotiated peace that addressed many of their grievances, marking a rare triumph in Native American resistance. However, the initial victories were short-lived, as dwindling tribal enthusiasm and the relentless advance of settlers ultimately led to further loss of territory and autonomy for the tribes involved.
