"The readings in this anthology-the diaries of a trader and a missionary, the letter of a frontier housewife, the travel account of a wide-eyed young English tourist, the memoir of an escaped slave, and many others-provide a ground-level view of the Old Northwest frontier. See other books in the series Ohio River Valley .
This book is hard to describe but an anthology, like the title says, is a good start.It is a good book to read to get an authentic perspective of the frontier history of this important state,sure, it has some boring moments, but a complete read gives you a good feel for the times and history of the Ohio frontier.It almost puts you there at the time of all these goings on.Like I said, some boring, but, also quite a bit interesting at the same time.
