A Country Between: The Upper Ohio Valley and Its Peoples, 1724-1774, Paperback/Michael N. McConnell

The Ohio Country in the eighteenth century was a zone of international strife, and the Delawares, Shawnees, Iroquois, and other natives who had taken refuge there were caught between the territorial ambitions of the French and British. A Country Between is unique in assuming the perspective of the Indians who struggled to maintain their autonomy in a geographical tinderbox. About author(s): Michael N.
