Originally published in 1879, Historic Notes on the Northwest by Hiram W. Beckwith is a carefully researched study of the Old Northwest, focusing on the lands, waterways, and peoples east of the Mississippi River during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Beckwith examines early exploration, Jesuit missions, the fur trade, and frontier settlement through the natural routes that shaped the region’s development, including the Great Lakes, major rivers, and their connecting portages.Drawing on early French, English, and American sources-along with rare maps, manuscripts, Jesuit Relations, and private and official correspondence-the author reconstructs a formative period of Midwestern history from materials often scattered or inaccessible. With measured attention to Native American nations and early place names, this volume documents the transformation of the Northwest from wilderness frontier to an emerging center of commerce and settlement, and remains a valuable resource for readers interested in early American and regional history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations. Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.As a reproduction of a historical artifact, this work may contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. Scholars believe, and we concur, that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced, and made generally available to the public. We appreciate your support of the preservation process, and thank you for being an important part of keeping this knowledge alive and relevant.
