Fort Stanwix and Oriskany (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025660899)

"Fort Stanwix and Oriskany" by John Albert Scott provides a detailed historical account of one of the most pivotal and bloody episodes of the American Revolutionary War. Set in the Mohawk Valley during the summer of 1777, this work examines the strategic importance of Fort Stanwix-also known as Fort Schuyler-and the harrowing Battle of Oriskany. The narrative follows the British advance under Barry St. Leger and the desperate efforts of American forces and their Oneida allies to halt the invasion of New York.

Through meticulous research, Scott captures the intensity of the siege and the brutal hand-to-hand combat that defined the engagement at Oriskany, an event that significantly hampered the British Saratoga campaign. This book serves as an essential resource for those interested in military history, the defense of the American frontier, and the complex alliances between European powers and Indigenous peoples during the struggle for independence. "Fort Stanwix and Oriskany" offers a comprehensive look at the courage and tactical decisions that helped turn the tide of the war in the Northern Department.
