Logusz captures the terrain, tactics and terror of this brutal, multifaceted wilderness war as few writers have done before. It was neighbor against neighbor, Native Americans on both sides, and European professionals against Colonial patriots, in a desperate campaign that helped determine America's fate. Rather than simply recounting maneuvers, in this work Logusz captures the "feel" of the campaign as American citizens on the rough frontier formed themselves into an army. With raiders from both sides crisscrossing the trackless forested region and main forces colliding in exceptionally bloody clashes, the desperate, often terrifying, nature of the wilderness war is captured with a fresh and intimate perspective.

Wayne Bussell, a member of the Lafayette Chapter, KYSSAR, historian and retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel has released Matthew Bussell and the American Revolution—Sailor and Soldier. This book presents the Revolutionary War service of a Virginia pioneer, born in the Northern Neck of Virginia. This well-researched book begins with the birth of the Virginia State Navy, the largest navy of the Colonies, and a sailor's story of serving two years in it on board the Dragon. Beginning in 1779, the Dragon, a ship built at the direction of George Washington's brother-in-law, Col. Fielding Lewis, was launched from Mannsfield Plantation along the banks of the Rappahannock River, two miles downstream from Washington's boyhood home. The Dragon and its sister ships patrolled the rivers of the Old Dominion and the waters of the Chesapeake, having many encounters with the British Navy at sea. By late April 1781, during the Battle of Osborne's Landing, the Virginia State Navy was defeated by forces under the command of Benedict Arnold as the British penetrated deep into Virginia up the James River. 46 After two years, the sailor Michael Bussell was discharged at the mouth of the Chickahominy River, on the James River, and joined the army to serve in the 1st Continental Artillery, Capt. Anthony Singleton's Artillery Company, along with his friend, 1st Lt. Francis Taliaferro Brooke. They served together for the balance of the war. Little did Bussell and Brooke realize their paths would cross again many years later. Bussell would become a farmer in east Tennessee, while Brooke would become a lawyer, serve as a judge on the Virginia Court of Appeals, and become a close friend and confidant of the famous Kentucky statesman, Henry Clay. During the 1781–1782 southern campaign under Nathanael Greene, the story tracks Bussell's movements in the army with Baron von Steuben, Lafayette, Anthony Wayne and Thomas Posey. Well-known battle sites are revisited, including Point of Fork in Virginia, Green Spring Plantation, Yorktown, Guilford Courthouse, a deadly clash with Creek Chief Emistisiguo in Georgia, and the British evacuations of Savannah and Charleston. The book features more than 30 illustrations, campaign maps and early travel routes from Virginia into western North Carolina and east Tennessee. The appendix includes a summary of Revolutionary War pension laws from 1776 to 1878; transcripts of the patriot's pension file; a biographical sketch of Judge Francis T. Brooke, who served as a lieutenant in Singleton's Artillery Company; summaries of Brooke's correspondence advising Clay; and a biographical sketch of Capt. Anthony Singleton, a Virginia silversmith.

It is the story of a "cub" newspaper reporter who is sent to investigate and write about the disappearance of a young girl in a small town in northern New Mexico. The involvement he has with the local law enforcement officials, citizens and the American Indians living on the nearby reservation allow him to make discoveries that eventually lead to the solution of the case. The reporter also receives help in solving the case through experiences usually reserved only for the highest-ranking religious gurus of the Native American culture. The experiences are so dramatic his sanity is threatened and the results completely change how he views life. ISBB: 978-1-6300-831-4; $29.95 SAR MAGAZINE
