When the Revolutionary War ended in 1783, the newly independent United States savored its victory and hoped for a great future. And yet the republic soon found itself losing an escalating military conflict with Native American tribes on its borderlands. In Autumn of the Black Snake, William Hogeland tells the absorbing story of how George Washington thereupon revived the career of the disgraced Revolutionary War hero Anthony Wayne and sent him into battle at the head of our first true standing army.

Autumn of the Black Snakes reveals the dramatic convergence of greed, honor, political beliefs, and vivid personalities on the killing fields of the Ohio valley, where the United states Army would win its first victory and in so doing destroy the coalition of Indians who came closer than any, before or since, to halting the nation's westward expansion.
