Who owned the Ohio Valley, and on what evidence? In this sharp historical discourse essay, William Henry Harrison enters the long-running argument over the region's earliest peoples and the claims later built upon their names. Myths harden fast in print. Written as a reasoned challenge to the prevailing story of an Iroquois takeover, this work probes the iroquois conquest debate in the seventeenth century Ohio Valley and the wider colonial era Great Lakes. Harrison weighs testimony, geography, and competing traditions to contest views associated with Cadwallader Colden Iroquois histories and echoed by prominent American voices of the day. The result is a rigorous piece of frontier history primary sources work: part polemic, part method lesson, with prefatory remarks on how history should be studied and argued. For readers interested in ohio valley aboriginal peoples, native land claims history, and the origins of regional identity, it remains a revealing window into early American history research and the politics of memory. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A classic history reprint and a complete text edition, it suits both the curious general reader and those building a serious library for indigenous studies coursework, historiography, or Ohio and Great Lakes regional studies.
