{"product_id":"the-united-states-army-1783-james-kochan-9781841760872","title":"The United States Army 1783 1811","description":"When the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) ended Washington's victorious Continental Army was disbanded. The infant United States had very mixed feelings about standing armies; but years of Indian-fighting on the frontier emphasised the need for a force larger than Josiah Harmar's original 700-man 1st American Regiment. In the event Secretary Hamilton's far-sighted reforms, which produced 'Wayne's Legion' in the early 1790s, were to be short-lived, and it took later threats of international war to stimulate the eventual expansion of the young US Army. James Kochan's meticulously researched study of a dramatic and confused period in American military history - the years of St Clair's disaster, 'Mad Anthony' Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers, and Harrison's at Tippecanoe - is illustrated with many rare and important paintings and drawings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Kochan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841760870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841760872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.27w x 0.21d","brand":"James Kochan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088860623103,"sku":"9781841760872","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a4a7b1c-ee6e-4267-be04-54e5055d928a.jpg?v=1769106942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-united-states-army-1783-james-kochan-9781841760872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
