Although much has been written about the Old Northwest, "The
Boundaries Between Us" fills a void in this historical literature
by examining the interaction between Euro-Americans and native
peoples, and their struggles to gain control of the region and its
vast resources. Comprised of twelve original essays, "The
Boundaries Between Us" formulates a comprehensive perspective on
the history and significance of the contest for control of the Old
Northwest. The essays examine the sociocultural contexts in which
natives and newcomers lived, traded, negotiated, interacted, and
fought, delineating the articulations of power and possibility,
difference and identity, violence and war that shaped the struggle.
The essays do not attempt to present a unified interpretation but,
rather, focus on both specific and general topics, revisit and
reinterpret well-known events, and underscore how cultural,
political, and ideological antagonisms divided the native
inhabitants from the newcomers. Together, these thoughtful analyses
offer a broad historical perspective on nearly a century of
contact, interaction, conflict, and displacement. This volume
promises to be of great importance to unfolding discussions in the
history of early America, the frontier, and cultural interaction.
