The American Revolution did not end at the seaboard. The frontier was never quiet. Delivered in 1871 as an annual historical society address to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Charles I. Walker's nineteenth-century history lecture captures how Americans of the post-Civil War era understood the American Revolution frontier. In this transcribed public speech, Walker follows the northwest territory during revolution across forts, waterways, and contested borderlands, keeping the Great Lakes in view. He sketches the interior stakes: river routes, shifting alliances, and Indigenous diplomacy alongside British, French, and American ambitions. The result reads as one of those brisk revolutionary war historical essays that connects national ideals to local consequence, and places Wisconsin Great Lakes history within the wider story of empire, loyalty, and settlement in the 18th century northwest, including the great lakes revolutionary war theatre. As a contemporary document and a window on early American memory-making, this address remains valuable for students, teachers, and independent readers: a classroom primary source reader that also sits comfortably in an American history research collection. Presented as a complete text edition, it rewards anyone tracing how historical argument was made in public, long before modern academic specialisation, and it will appeal to classic-history collectors who prize original voices and period rhetoric. Ideal for museums, libraries, and study. 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.
