This volume focuses on the post-Revolutionary War period from 1784 to 1790 and describes the significant westward expansion of American settlers into the trans-Alleghany region. Roosevelt explores the dynamic interactions between settlers and indigenous tribes, as well as the geopolitical tensions with European powers, particularly Great Britain and Spain, during this critical formative period in American history. The opening of the book discusses the immediate post-war years, highlighting the vast expanse of the western frontier and its appeal to settlers seeking opportunity. It outlines the influx of pioneers whose ambitions were hindered by persistent conflicts with powerful Native American tribes and imperial interests. The narrative emphasizes the settlers' struggle to claim the land, often characterized by tensions that led to violent confrontations. Roosevelt also touches on the unique socio-political climate, including land speculation, the formation of new state structures, and the challenges in establishing a unified governmental authority in the nascent territories.
