"Much has been written about the famous conflicts and battlegrounds of the East during the American Revolution. Perhaps less familiar, but equally important and exciting, was the war on the western frontier, where Ohio Valley settlers fought for the land they had claimed -- and for their very lives. George Rogers Clark stepped forward to organize the local militias into a united front that would defend the western frontier from Indian attacks. Clark was one of the few people who saw the importance of the West in the war effort as a whole, and he persuaded Virginia's government to lend support to his efforts. As a result Clark was able to cross the Ohio, saving that part of the frontier from further raids. Lowell Harrison captures the excitement of this vital part of American history while giving a complete view of George Rogers Clark's significant achievements. Lowell H. Harrison, is a professor emeritus of history at Western Kentucky University and is the author or co-author of numerous books, including Lincoln of Kentucky, A New History of Kentucky, and Kentucky's Governors."

A compelling tale of love, battle, and faith, Windborne is set in a land of flying warriors, locked in a seemingly endless conflict over an ever-changing border, a war that has gone on long enough that even the combatants are no longer sure of their goals or the endgame. Wilford is a shy young villager, pulled into the struggle as a cadet, and turned into a vicious killer, the pride of his captains, by the tragedies of war. Saved by people of faith from his hopelessly murderous existence, he re-enters the war, baptized with the Spirit and the desire to end the bloodshed. Besides the obvious enemy across the border, he faces belligerent superiors, traitors in the ranks, and personal loss. Through hard work, faith, loyal friends, his own fighting prowess, and the grace of God, he ascends the ranks, determined to bring a victorious peace.
