The Old Northwest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023672719)

“The Old Northwest: A Chronicle of the Ohio Valley and Beyond” explores the history of the region encompassing the modern states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. This chronicle, originally published in 1919, details the area's early exploration, settlement, and its pivotal role in the westward expansion of the United States. From the conflicts with Native American tribes to the establishment of governance and the surge of pioneer life, Frederic Austin Ogg presents a comprehensive overview of the Old Northwest's formative years.

Ogg examines the political, social, and economic developments that shaped the region, highlighting the significance of the Ohio River and the Great Lakes. The book offers insights into the lives of the settlers, the challenges they faced, and their contributions to the evolving American identity. Readers interested in American history, particularly the story of the frontier and the Old Northwest, will find this book an invaluable resource.
