Indian Wars Along the Upper Ohio - Garbarino

INDIAN WARS ALONG THE UPPER OHIO. 2001 by William M. Garbarino, Jr. This exceptional and informative history brings to light the Indian Wars and related events along the shores and tributaries of the Upper Ohio River in the years 1745 to 1795. The Ohio River was the scene of one of the greatest territorial struggles between the early settlers and the Indians. The Indians, who had been continuously pushed westward by unscrupulous treaties and the victors of the Revolutionary War, had made the Ohio River their last stand. Although several treaties had been signed giving up the rights to lands along the Ohio, the Indians continued to see this as the line of demarcation between the whites and themselves. Intrusion into the Ohio Country frequently meant death or captivity. Indexed, illustrations. ISBN 0-9671014-3-3 127 pages, 6 x 9 Softbound
