By force and by treaty the new nation was established in the East, and when the explorers and settlers pushed against the Mississippi, everything west of the river was considered part of that nation. This volume continues with the westward immigration via wilderness trails and keelboats on the Ohio. Roosevelt gives the whole unsettled picture after the Revolution, describing the separatist movement, the threat posed by the Spanish possessions, skirmishes with Indians incited by the British operating fur posts on the Great Lakes, the differences in the struggles for the Northwest and the Southwest and in their pioneering stock. The introducer is Michael N. McConnell, a professor of history at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and the author of "The Country Between: The Upper Ohio Valley and Its Peoples, 1724-1774" (Nebraska 1992).
