Natives and Newcomers along the Frontiers of the Old Northwest Territory, 1750-1850. A steady stream of studies has reexamined Indian-white interactions in the colonial and early national eras, the nature of frontiers, and frontier experience. The Old Northwest has received an ample share of their attention. The Boundaries between Us reflects the maturation of the field and points us in new directions. The scholarship is sound and the issues are important. It will appeal to old Northwest specialists, to ethnohistorians, early Americanists, students of the 'American frontier,' and to those who just have an interest in the region's history. These essays collectively represent a valuable contribution to a literature that is rich, growing, and still has room for growth.
