Little Turtle: The Rising in the Ohio

By Kevin Grote and Denise Grote

This historical novel, Little Turtle: The Rising in the Ohio by Kevin Grote, chronicles the brutal and relentless struggle for the Northwest Territories in the years following the American Revolution. Set against the vast, contested wilderness of the Ohio Valley, the story explores the complex conflict between Native American nations-including the Miami, Shawnee, and Delaware-fighting to protect their ancestral lands, and the fledgling United States, striving to define its boundaries and authority. The narrative immerses readers in the visceral reality of 18th-century frontier warfare, depicting the logistical challenges, the fear of surprise attack, and the evolution of American military capabilities from the failed campaigns of Generals Harmar and St. Clair to the disciplined, decisive formation of "Mad Anthony" Wayne's Legion. Through the perspectives of diverse characters-from iconic leaders like Little Turtle, Blue Jacket, and Tecumseh, to common soldiers, settlers, and shadowy foreign agents-the book presents a nuanced portrait of a pivotal era where ambition, desperation, and the indomitable will to survive clashed in a fight for a new nation's future.
