Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 9.5 inches tall; 810 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index. Map endpages and intext maps. The Ohio River, a principal route for pioneers pushing westward along its 981-mile course from Pennsylvania through Kentucky and Indiana to Illinois, was the scene of fierce battles among warring Indian tribes the Shawnee, Miami, Cherokee, Iroquois.....and between Native Americans and white settlers. Tapping journals, letters, diaries and government memoranda from 1768 to 1799, and fleshing out his panoramic chronicle with reconstructed dialogue adapted from primary sources, historian-novelist Eckert has fashioned an epic narrative history of the struggle for dominance of the Ohio River Valley that makes compelling reading.
