Restless, adventurous, enterprising--all seeking a foothold on the future. This is the chronicle of settlers, speculators, soldiers, missionaries, fugitives, and pioneers who settled the West.

"A meticulously researched account of the settlement of the Ohio River valley during the years before and after the American Revolution. Eckert presents a balanced narrative that makes it plain that there were heroes and villains on all sides: colonists, Brits, and native Americans. And the names emerging from that period of history--Simon Kenton, Sam Brady, Lewis Wetzel, Blue Jacket--are not the ones you expect. (Daniel Boone is there, but his story is reserved for another Eckert work, The Court Martial of Daniel Boone.)
Very readable and highly recommended for anyone who wants to better understand how the United States came to be."
"A novel based on historical events during before, during and after the US War of Independence. Gives insight to the daily lives of settlers along the Ohio River. Especially interesting if you have lived or traveled in the Ohio River Valley. Heavily footnoted."
