The Ohio Frontier

Crucible of the Old Northwest, 1720–1830

By: R. Douglas Hurt

Narrated by: Maxwell Zener

Nowhere on the American frontier was the clash of cultures more violent than on the Ohio frontier. First settled by migrating Native Americans in 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.

Excellent details and flows like a story.

A lot of references that could be reviewed to explore areas of interest. Great history of a forgotten struggle of settlers and native Americans.

Linear walk-through history

Although it was long, the detailed description of Ohio history made up for the book length. I have been told my family name was part of Ohio history. This book made it real.
