Book Review

Wild Yankees: The Struggle for Independence along Pennsylvania's Revolutionary Frontier. By Paul B. Moyer. (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2007. xvi, 216 pp. $39.95, ISBN 978-0-8014-4494-4.)

In Wild Yankees, Paul B. Moyer seeks to integrate the turmoil and violence that plagued Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley into a larger pattern of agrarian resistance that erupted along the American frontier over the latter portion of the eighteenth century. While the struggle for possession of the upper Susquehanna River valley exhibited traits similar to other frontier disputes of the era (including the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania), Moyer argues that the Pennamite Wars (as the struggle is known in Pennsylvania) were unique. While other frontier uprisings tended to be acute, short bursts of unrest, the struggle in the Wyoming Valley went on for decades, and, as a consequence, it evolved over time as the protagonists reinterpreted and reinvented the basis of their unease.
