| Publisher Description: Spanish colonial governor Bernardo de G'lvez gained the respect and admiration of the citizens of both Louisiana and the newly formed United States for his vigorous, capable leadership and military action during the American Revolutionary War. This comprehensive study follows G'lvez's career in Louisiana and the important role he played in the war, a role often left out of American history books. |
