Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the history of the Sullivan Road, a vital military highway constructed in 1779 during the American Revolution. The author, a lifelong student of Wyoming history, meticulously details the road's construction and its significance in the context of the conflict with the British and their Native American allies. He recounts the events leading up to the road's creation, including the devastating massacre of settlers at Wyoming in 1778, and the subsequent need for General Sullivan to lead a campaign to punish the perpetrators. The book vividly portrays the challenges of building the road through treacherous mountain terrain and dense forests, including the dangers posed by Native American scouts and the loss of life among the road builders. It also delves into the social and economic impact of the road, both during the war and in the years that followed, underscoring its importance as a crucial link between the Susquehanna and Delaware Rivers. This detailed and engaging account offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the American Revolution, shedding light on the forgotten stories of the soldiers, settlers, and Native Americans who played a role in this pivotal period.
