The Battle of Fallen Timbers: A Change of Worlds
Author Dave Westrick shares the forgotten stories of the defenders, invaders and all the people caught in the middle. On a hot, humid August morning in 1794, an army representing fifteen quarreling states met an alliance of Native American tribes at a place called Fallen Timbers. The battle lasted less than two hours, with fewer than one hundred killed. For the United States, it was the beginning of greatness and the birth of a proud military tradition. For the Native Americans, it was the end of the life they had led for thousands of years.

It's full of interesting facts about the people involved, a bit less about details of the battle. The book is a collection of vignettes tied together by the main subject, rather than a historical narrative following a timeline of events. I'm fine with Dave's casual writing style, but I do wish in future editions he would correct "calvary" to "cavalry."
