Land Beyond the Mountains

Highly accurate account of the Indian Wars in the Ohio Valley beginning in 1764 at the end of the French & Indian War through 1786, the last battle fought by the Virginia Militia. In order to familiarize the reader with the period, the author has inserted special sections concerning the natural beauty of the area as it was in the mid seventeen hundreds, Indian life, customs & government, pioneer living in the Ohio country, early religious movements, etc. The book contains many biographical sketches of major participants in the Indian Wars including Kenton, Boone, Chief Little Turtle, John Johnson, General Logan, the Girty Brothers & others. One will find much of the "history" previously written by authors debunked in order to maintain accuracy. It is the belief of the author that in order for readers to retain what they read, each chapter should be an independent story. This is one uniqueness the book contains. Also available is SIMON KENTON: THE GREAT FRONTIERSMAN ($18.00). Much of the information was gleaned from the Lyman C. Draper manuscripts which are little-known facts of the old frontier. Coming soon is THE LONG GREEN VALLEY, a companion book to THE LAND BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS. This 350 page narrative covers the period from 1787-1843, ending when the last Indians left Ohio.
