Download or read book North Woods River written by Eileen M. McMahon and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The St. Croix River, the free-flowing boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota, is a federally protected National Scenic Riverway. The area’s first recorded human inhabitants were the Dakota Indians, whose lands were transformed by fur trade empires and the loggers who called it the “river of pine.” A patchwork of farms, cultivated by immigrants from many countries, followed the cutover forests. Today, the St. Croix River Valley is a tourist haven in the land of sky-blue waters and a peaceful escape for residents of the bustling Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan region. North Woods River is a thoughtful biography of the river over the course of more than three hundred years. Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski track the river’s social and environmental transformation as newcomers changed the river basin and, in turn, were changed by it. The history of the St. Croix revealed here offers larger lessons about the future management of beautiful and fragile wild waters.
Download or read book Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest written by Susan Sleeper-Smith and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest recovers the agrarian village world Indian women created in the lush lands of the Ohio Valley. Algonquian-speaking Indians living in a crescent of towns along the Wabash tributary of the Ohio were able to evade and survive the Iroquois onslaught of the seventeenth century, to absorb French traders and Indigenous refugees, to export peltry, and to harvest riparian, wetland, and terrestrial resources of every description and breathtaking richness. These prosperous Native communities frustrated French and British imperial designs, controlled the Ohio Valley, and confederated when faced with the challenge of American invasion. By the late eighteenth century, Montreal silversmiths were sending their best work to Wabash Indian villages, Ohio Indian women were setting the fashions for Indigenous clothing, and European visitors were marveling at the sturdy homes and generous hospitality of trading entrepots such as Miamitown. Confederacy, agrarian abundance, and nascent urbanity were, however, both too much and not enough. Kentucky settlers and American leaders—like George Washington and Henry Knox—coveted Indian lands and targeted the Indian women who worked them. Americans took women and children hostage to coerce male warriors to come to the treaty table to cede their homelands. Appalachian squatters, aspiring land barons, and ambitious generals invaded this settled agrarian world, burned crops, looted towns, and erased evidence of Ohio Indian achievement. This book restores the Ohio River valley as Native space.

Download or read book That Dark and Bloody River written by Allan W. Eckert and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning author chronicles the settling of the Ohio River Valley, home to the defiant Shawnee Indians, who vow to defend their land against the seemingly unstoppable. They came on foot and by horseback, in wagons and on rafts, singly and by the score, restless, adventurous, enterprising, relentless, seeking a foothold on the future. European immigrants and American colonists, settlers and speculators, soldiers and missionaries, fugitives from justice and from despair—pioneers all, in the great and inexorable westward expansion defined at its heart by the majestic flow of the Ohio River. This is their story, a chronicle of monumental dimension, of resounding drama and impact set during a pivotal era in our history: the birth and growth of a nation. Drawing on a wealth of research, both scholarly and anecdotal—including letters, diaries, and journals of the era—Allan W. Eckert has delivered a landmark of historical authenticity, unprecedented in scope and detail.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fox River Valley in the Days of the Fur Trade When the embryo United States of America was comprised in a series of little isolated sea coast towns under English rule, and New France was the El Dorado of the rival power, one great dominating influence gave impetus. To French exploration and discovery in the new world - the all embracing fur trade. It caught in its meshes - Cardinal Richelieu, the controlling power in far - off France, and thereby shaped the foreign policy of a nation. The men of Canada in all degrees of life were more or less engaged in this enthralling pursuit; even the Jesuit priests were not exempt from the prevailing madness,2 and their donnes - the Canadian youth reared under priestly surveil lance, to assist in the missions - carried the sanction of the church into their favorite occupation.
