Produktbeschreibung

"A vivid panorama of the transitional years when Ohio evolved from a raw frontier territory to an established province of an ever-expanding nation." -Booklist Nowhere on the American frontier was the clash of cultures more violent than on the Ohio frontier. First settled by migrating Native Americans about 1720 and later by white settlers, Ohio became the crucible which set indigenous and military policy throughout the region. There, Shawnees, Wyandots, and Delawares, among others, fought to preserve their land claims. A land of opportunity, refuge, and violence for both Native Americans and whites, Ohio served as the political, economic, and social foundation for the settlement of the Old Northwest. "Finally, after nearly twenty-five years, a high-quality general history of the frontier period of the state of Ohio... [A] dynamic account... that should delight both Transappalachian frontier scholars and interested amateurs." -History "This exhaustively researched and well-written book provides a comprehensive history of Ohio from 1720 to 1830." -Journal of the Early Republic
