So I had a $50 USD gift card for Amazon and used it on this: The Battle of St. Louis, the Attack on Cahokia, and the American Revolution in the West Hardcover – January 1, 2017 by Stephen L. Kling Jr. (Author), Kristine Sjostrom (Author), & 1 more 5.0 out of 5 stars 10 ratings Haven't more than opened and flipped through it but WOW: full of maps and illustrations, most in color, with lots of scenarios for gaming. Looks like a labor of love by local historians. More later as I get into it. |

I have it also and agree with you. A fabulous book. Thoroughly recommended. |

Well, you got my attention. Being born and bred in St.Louis, I had not read much about what happened in this area. I looked on Amazon and I noticed Mr. Kling has another book on the cavalry used here during the American Revolution. On my Shopping List now. 12 in stock. |

One of my friends just loaned me Kling's book on cavalry -- Cavalry in the Wilderness: Cavalry in the Western Theater of the American Revolution and the French and Indian War. It has wonderful illustrations and maps. Jim |

'The Long Knife' by James Thom is an enjoyable fictional treatment of events in the Illinois country during the AWI |

I'll pile on here as well. Excellent book. Well written. Amazing color illlustrations and artwork. Lots of information that relating to things not generally known. Besides, who amongst us knows a great deal about the AWI in that area? |
