"One of the best compilations of frontier narratives!" (Howes)
A.W. Patterson's "History of the Backwoods" is a rare, 19th-century account of frontier life in the American west. This book covers some of the earliest settlements in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Though, perhaps the best resource this book offers is the numerous accounts of interactions with Native American Indian tribes – tribes including the Massawomees, the Allegawe, Delawares, and Shawnees. Patterson also covers major battles in the French and Indian War.
Thomson says of this work:
"a rare book of Western History…a perfectly reliable narrative of events in the West arranged chronologically from the earliest discoveries of the French to Wayne's victory."
