Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Northwest, Vol. 1: With a View of the Thirteen Colonies as Constituted by the Royal Charters Save New England alone, there is no section Oi the United States embracing several States that is so distinct an historical unit, and that so readily yields to historical treat ment, as the Old Northwest. It is the part of the gteat West first discovered and colonized by the French. It was the occasion Of the final struggle for dominion between France and England in North America. It was the thea tre Of one Of the most brilliant and far-reaching military ex ploits Of the Revolution. The disposition to be made Of it at the close Of the Revolution is the most important territo rial question treated in the history Of American diplomacy. After the war, the Northwest began to assume a constantly increasing importance in the national history. It is the origi nal public domain, and the part Of the West first colonized under the authority Of the National Government. It was the first and the most important Territory ever organized by Congress. It is the only part of the United States ever under a secondary constitution like the Ordinance Of 1787. N 0 other equal part of the Union has made in one hundred years such progress along the characteristic lines of American development. Moreover, the Northwest has stood in very important relations to questions Of great national and inter national importance, as the use and ownership of the Missis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping survey, Milo Milton Quaife traces the events leading from Chicago's emergence as a key outpost at the edge of the frontier to its establishment as the crossroads of American commerce. Strategically located at the head of the Great Lakes on the Chicago portage, one of the main highways connecting the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway with the Mississippi River, Chicago was equally valued by explorers, traders, settlers, and governments. Quaife narrates the opening of trade and the course of European exploration, facilitated by the Chicago portage and subsequent construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. He profiles the personalities who shaped the early Chicago area, from the French explorers La Salle, Marquette, and Joliet to the ambitious Champlain, who set the course for decades to come by securing for New France the enmity of the Iroquois. Quaife provides a full description of the Indian trade, which constituted the basis of commerce in the region for the entire period covered by the book, as well as a blow-by-blow account of how old rivalries and alliances between Indian tribes complicated the English and French plans for divvying up the New World. He also describes the conflicts between natives and whites with sympathy and detail on both sides, depicting Indian attacks on white settlements as rationally motivated acts aiming toward specific goals of strategy or revenge. First published in 1913, Chicago and the Old Northwest, 1673-1835 is one of the earliest works of a man who became one of the premier scholars of his generation. In a new introduction, Chicago historian Perry R. Duis sketches Quaife's long and varied career, his influence on the history profession, and his crusade to prove that a black trader was the first permanent resident of Chicago.
