Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of the Northwest Territory from its earliest indigenous inhabitants to the era just before the Revolutionary War. The author describes the territory's geography and explains the motivations of France, Spain and England to explore and claim land and resources in that region. From Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto's entrada in the 1540s to Englishman Christopher Gist's explorations on behalf of the Ohio Company in the 1750s, the author provides rich accounts of the expeditions that opened up the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. This book highlights the diplomatic tensions between the European powers in North America and offers vivid depictions of battles over control of the Ohio. The text concludes with the outbreak of the French and Indian War in 1754, which marked a turning point in the contest for global empire and the fate of the Northwest Territory.
