Conflict on the early American Frontier
This is the fascinating and bloody story of the American frontier
of the eighteenth century-where white man clashed with red man in
the Eastern Woodlands and on the banks of the great Ohio River.
This history begins in the time when the British and French vied
for the trackless wilderness to create a New World Empire. It takes
the reader through the French and Indian War and chronicles
battles, depredations and the suffering of early settlers. We join
the Zanes and other notable characters along the Ohio. Here is the
war of 1774, Boone's settlement and struggles in Kentucky and Lord
Dunmore's War. As the American War of Independence erupts the
British elicit the aid of savage Indian allies against the young
America and the border once more is aflame with warfare and
massacre. Peace with the British brings no respite and the bloody
conflict continues between the settlers and native Americans to its
bitter conclusion. This is an engrossing but gruelling
account-filled with detail and incident-of savagery, tenacity and
endurance as people struggle to build or keep a place for
themselves in the world. An essential piece of research on the
subject.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1895 Edition. And Of The
Indian Wars And Massacres In That Section Of The State.
