"In 1795, fifty million acres between the Ohio River, the Great Lakes and the mighty Mississippi were a silent wilderness broken only by open forest meadows. That year Mad Anthony Wayne made the treaty at Fort Greenville by which the few thousands of Indians in the area began their cessions of land. Here is the epic story of how that vast region was settled by an unparalled migration from the east~New England, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia~and from Europe. First came the squatters, then eastern speculators whose advertisements boosting fictitious new towns whetted the appetites of land~hungry thousands. But many settlements were made on a sound basis, and thrived. The land got itself settled through all this hodge~podge of good and evil. And new states were gradually carved out of the huge territory that before 1795 had known only the moccasins of Indian or occasional hunter and trader~Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and finally, Wisconsin. When, in 1840, Ohio gave a President to the United States, William Henry Harrison, a period came to a close~the huge Ohio territory had ceased to be a frontier. With a wide sweep of poetic imagination and deep insight into human nature, Walter Havighurst unfolds this cyclorama of a new nation being born. His is a great gift for graphic portraiture of salty frontier characters, a deep sense of compassion for the Indians who were robbed of their heritage and pushed toward extermination. The reader will feel that he is participating in a great epic movement, colorful, furious and primitive.".
