{"product_id":"9781841760872","title":"The United States Army 1783-1811","description":"When the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) ended Washington's victorious Continental Army was disbanded. The infant United States had very mixed feelings about standing armies; but years of Indian-fighting on the frontier emphasised the need for a force larger than Josiah Harmar's original 700-man 1st American Regiment. In the event Secretary Hamilton's far-sighted reforms, which produced 'Wayne's Legion' in the early 1790s, were to be short-lived, and it took later threats of international war to stimulate the eventual expansion of the young US Army. James Kochan's meticulously researched study of a dramatic and confused period in American military history - the years of St Clair's disaster, 'Mad Anthony' Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers, and Harrison's at Tippecanoe - is illustrated with many rare and important paintings and drawings.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48534063939825,"sku":"9781841760872","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781841760872_p0.jpg?v=1786331444","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841760872","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
