Synopsis

Explore the battles, councils, and treaties that shaped the Ohio frontier in the 1790s.

This nonfiction account traces the high-stakes diplomacy and fighting as the United States and Native nations grappled over land, power, and peace along the edge of the new nation. From early peace efforts and contested treaties to the fierce clashes that tested leaders and soldiers, the narrative weaves together the complexities of a turbulent era on the western frontier.

Readers will encounter the people, places, and events that defined the struggle—campaigns led by Wayne, sieges and skirmishes around Fort Washington and the Maumee, and the shifting alliances that shaped future borders.

• Profiles of key figures and tribes involved in the negotiations and battles, including Wyandots, Shawnees, Miamis, and others.
• A clear account of the diplomacy, promises, and limits of American treaties with Native nations in the 1790s.
• Context for major episodes like campaigns, council meetings, and the push for a lasting peace on the frontier.
• Connections between political debate in early America and frontier warfare along the Ohio River.

Ideal for readers interested in early American history, frontier diplomacy, and the events that shaped a region at the crossroads of nations.
