Summary "The Old Northwest: A Chronicle of the Ohio Valley and Beyond" by Frederic Austin Ogg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the complex and transformative history of the Old Northwest region during the 18th century, particularly covering the interactions between European settlers, Native Americans, and the shifting political landscape following the British victory in the French and Indian War. The opening of the book introduces readers to the aftermath of the fall of Montreal in 1760, which marked the transition of control over the Old Northwest to the British. Ogg describes the early settlements established by French colonizers, emphasizing their strategic locations near rivers and natural trade routes. The narrative foreshadows the tensions that arise as British authority replaces French influence, particularly through the lens of Pontiac's Conspiracy, an Indigenous uprising against British encroachment. Ogg sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the consequential conflicts, cultural interactions, and changing governmental policies that shaped the region, all of which are pivotal to understanding the historical context of westward expansion in America.
