THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN THE WEST

1-230630

Covers the battles of the American Revolutionary War west of the Thirteen Colonies and along the Mississippi River. It included French-heritage inhabitants living along the Mississippi River, the new Spanish owners of the Louisiana Territory, the British masters of the east side of the Mississippi River, the Americans who conquered much of the east side of the Mississippi River from the British, the Native Americans who were often (but not exclusively) allied with the British and were involved in almost every military action in the west, and both free and enslaved Blacks who participated in several conflicts (sometimes voluntarily and often involuntarily).
