Abstract 520    $a"When the Revolutionary War ended, Washington's victorious Continental Army was disbanded. While many in the United States opposed the idea of a standing army, years of Indian-fighting on the frontier, and continuing threat from European powers, forced the government to form the United States Army. In this heavily illustrated volume, James Kochan charts the growth and development of the early US Army through the years of the St. Clair's disaster, the battle at Fallen Timbers, and Harrison's victory at Tippecanoe to the eve of the second war with Britain."--Publisher's note
