Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important and dramatic chapter in the American story—the settling of the Northwest Territory by dauntless pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would come to define our country. As part of the Treaty of Paris, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler’s son Ephraim; and two other men, one a carpenter turned architect, and the other a physician who became a prominent pioneer in American science. They and their families created a town in a primeval wilderness, while coping with such frontier realities as floods, fires, wolves and bears, no roads or bridges, no guarantees of any sort, all the while negotiating a contentious and sometimes hostile relationship with the native people. Like so many of McCullough’s subjects, they let no obstacle deter or defeat them. Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. This is a revelatory and quintessentially American story, written with David McCullough’s signature narrative energy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Great Northwest and Its Men of Progress: A Select List of Biographical Sketches and Portraits of the Leaders in Business, Professional and Official Life As to the antiquity of the race to which the North American Indian belongs, no precise date can be assigned as that of his first appearance upon the continent. We are not, however, left to mere conjecture upon this point. The investigations of geologists enable them to fix upon a minimum period ino attempt is made to limit the maximum period) within which our aborigines made their advent in America. John Fiske gives a most interesting discussion of this question in the first chapter of The Discovery of America. He says: It is altogether probable tliat the people whom the Spaniards found in America came by migration from the Old orld. But it is by no means probable that their migration occurred within so short a period as five or six thousand years. A series of observations and discoveries kept up for the last half-century seem to show that North America has been continuously inhabited by human beings since the earliest Pleistocene times, if not earlier. Concerning the antiquity of the Pleistocene epoch, if- adopt thf magnificent argument of Dr. Croll we obtain a result that is moderate and probable. The Glacial epoch began about 240, 000 years ago and came to an end about 80, 000 years ago. Xow the traces of the existence of man in North America during the Glacial epoch have in recent years been disco Aered in abundance, as, for example, the palaeolithic quartzite implements found in the drift near the city of St. Paul, which date from toward the close of the Glacial epoch; and the fragment of a human jaw found in the red clay deposited in ilinnesota during an earlier part of that epoch. In July, 18S 7, in a deep cut of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, in a stratum of Philadelphia red gravel and brick clay, Mr. Cresson obtained an unquestionable palaeolith. If we accept Dr. Cro Hsmethod of reckoning, we can hardly assign to it an antiquity less than 150, 000 years. According to a map published by George Catlin, in Is i i, the great Northwest was at that time inhabited by the following tribes of Indians: In Wisconsin, the Chippeways, the Menomonies, and the Winnebagoes; in ilinnesota, the Chippeways and the Sionx; in Iowa, the Sioux, the Sacs and the Foxes; in Dakota, the Assinneboins, the Minatalees, the Mandans, the Riccarees, and the Sioux; in Montana, the Blaekfeet and the( rows; in Wyoming, the Crows and the( heyennes; in Idaho, the Shoshones and the Flatheads; in Washington and Oregon, the( hilts, the Chinooks, the Flatheads, the Snakes, and the Nez Terces. There are at present in the Northwest some 82, 000 Indians, about 70, 000 being collected in a hundred different reservations. The remaining 12, 000 are self-supporting and are taxed like the whites. The distril)utiou of the Indians in the several states is approximately as follows: In South Dakota, 20.000 Brules, (I heyennes, Blaekfeet, Sioux, etc.; in Washington, 11, 000, belonging to nearly eighty tribes Cceur dAlenes, Kuteuays, Nez Perces, Okanagans, Olympias, Pend dOreilles, Piutes, Puyallups, Spokanes, etc.; in Montana, 11, 000 Assinneboins, Blaekfeet, Cheyennes, Crows and Flatheads; in Wisconsin, 10, 000 Menomonies, Oneidas, etc; in Minnesota, 10, 000 Chippeways, etc.; in North Dakota, 8, 000 Arikaras, Assinneboins, Blaekfeet, Sioux, Gros Ventres, ilandans, Unkpapapas, Wahpetons and Yanktonnai; in Oregon, 5, 000 Cayuses, Piutes, Shastis, Snakes, etc.; in Idaho, 4, 500 Bannaks, C(r urd Alenes. Nez Perces, Shoshones, etc.; in A yoming 2, 000Shoshones, Arapahoes, etc; and in Iowa, 500 Sacs and Foxes. As the tide of white exploration and settlement moved westward across the continent, various types of the Indian were encountered. Indians living upon cultivated maize, small grain and vegetables, wild grains, fruits and roots; flesh eaters, root diggers, and fish eaters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Log School-House on the Columbia: A Tale of the Pioneers of the Great Northwest A year or more ago one of the librarian in charge of the young people's books in the Boston Public Library called my attention to the fact that there were few books of popular information in regard to the pioneers of the great Northwest. The librarian suggested that I should write a story that would give a view of the heroic lives of the pioneers of Oregon and Washington. Soon after this interview I meta distinguished educator who had lately returned from the Columbia River, who told me the legend of the old chief who died of grief in the grave of his son, somewhat in the manner described in this volume. The legend had those incidental qualities that haunt a susceptible imagination, and it was told to me in such a dramatic way that I could not put it out of my mind.
