    American Revolutionary War Book Recommendations

    I am looking for a good recommendation for some books on George Rogers Clark and his Revolutionary War Campaigns.

    I have seen some listed but I am wondering if any WABbits have anything to add or recommend.

    All

    I just finished reading Washington's Crossing by David Hackett Fischer. It is an excellent telling of the Winter Campaign of 1776/77. I highly recommend this most readable history to anyoen remotely interested in the American Revolution. Don't be put off by its apparent heft. It has excellent notes, maps and a great historiography of Revolutionary War writing. A great read.
