We’ll focus on the American Midwest with this episode: specifically, the areas affected by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. These fertile lands north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River were considered ripe for American settlement…unless you and your kin were already living there and had done so for generations. In this episode of History: Beyond the Textbook, our last in our arc of looking at “The West” during these Crucial Years, we’ll explore the Northwest Territory using the experiences of Shawnee leader Blue Jacket and Army Engineer Rufus Putnam.
