That Dark and Bloody River:
Chronicles of the Ohio River Valley

by Allan W. Eckert

That Dark and Bloody River: Chronicles of the Ohio River Valley explores a turning point in American history as colonists begin the first great expansion westward into the Ohio River Valley. In this narrative history, spanning nearly eighty years and peopled with fascinating characters both familiar (such as Daniel Boone) and less famous (young Betty Zane, who showed uncommon valor under Indian attack), Eckert combines meticulous research with his powerful storytelling style to portray the struggle for domination of the valley.
