On the raw edge of empire, families carved homesteads out of deep forest while war flickered on every horizon. The frontier was never gentle. In this classic pioneer history book, Reverend Joseph Doddridge looks back on the settlement of the western parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania between 1763 and 1783, when cabins, stockades and small towns pushed into the 18th century western frontier. Written from the perspective of a man who grew up among these first settlers, his account brings to life the perils, hopes and harsh routines that shaped the american revolutionary frontier. Part colonial frontier memoir, part revolutionary era narrative history, Doddridge gathers memories, oral traditions and local observations into vivid notes on settlement, defence, worship, travel and trade. He records the pressures of native american frontier wars alongside intimate glimpses of pioneer settler daily life: hunting and husbandry, homes and clothing, schools, marriages and funerals on the virginia and pennsylvania frontier. The result is a richly textured portrait of society and manners that speaks directly to readers curious about early american frontier history. Long valued as a western pennsylvania history reference, it offers rich material for colonial history students and a detailed resource for genealogy research into families of the backcountry settlements. 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.
