From the publisher: The Battle of the Thames was the culmination of a bloody campaign that saw American forces clash with the British and their Native American allies. In a battle northeast of Detroit which included future U.S. president William Henry Harrison, American naval hero Oliver Hazard Perry, and the legendary Shawnee leader Tecumseh, the Americans prevailed, due in part to their imaginative use of Kentucky mounted riflemen to charge British regular infantry and artillery. The victory helped secure the Northwest frontier for a young country in the War of 1812. Winkler presents the Battle of the Thames through detailed analysis, combat reports, and specially commissioned illustrations.

FSM says: Figure modelers who prefer to spend the Napoleonic era in the New World will find inspiration in the accounts and images of this conflict in America’s then-western territories.
