Why read it?
1 author picked The Ohio Frontier, Crucible of the Old Northwest, 1720-1830 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Part of the “History of the Trans-Appalachian Frontier” series, this book presents readers with many entertaining and informative accounts of Ohio life throughout the frontier era. The period covered in this book is just over 100 years, so Dunmore’s War, while given attention, is not explored in detail. Still, I found this book a valued and comprehensive survey that helped me to understand the political and cultural factors that led to the conflict in 1774, as well as what followed after.
From Lori's list on Dunmore’s War (1774 Ohio frontier).
