Summary

"The untold story of the "Black Boys," a rebellion on the American frontier in 1765 that sparked the American Revolution. --Drawing on largely forgotten manuscript sources from archives across North America, Patrick Spero recasts the familiar narrative of the American Revolution, moving the action from the Eastern Seaboard to the treacherous western frontier. In spellbinding detail, Frontier Rebels reveals an often-overlooked truth: the West played a crucial role in igniting the flame of American independence." - provided by publisher
