Book Description

Excerpt from Extracts From the History of Cincinnati and the Territory of Ohio: Showing the Trials and Hardships of the Pioneers in the Early Settlement of Cincinnati and the West These Indians owned, or pretended to-own, all the Northwest Territory as far west as the Mississippi River. And that southwest of the Ohio River as far south as the Carolinas and Georgia. According to their traditions, these lands came into their possession and were held by right of conquest, their fathers, many years before, having conquered all the tribes possessing them. The right of the Six Nations to dispose of this territory has been a Subject of much discussion; but whether they had such rights is but of little consequence now, either to its present inhabitants or to the purpose of this work, further than will assist in showing by whom, and under what circum stances the City of Cincinnati was first explored, and the difficulties that followed that exploration previous to its settlement.
