Excerpt from The Great Lakes Frontier: An Epic of the Old Northwest The voyagers traveled very lightly. Provided with smoked meat and Indian corn, they embarked on May I7, 1673, with five men in two canoes. Paddling westward, they passed the Strait of Mackinac, crossed the northern section of Lake Michigan and reached a village of the Menominee or Green Bay Indians, who, unwilling to lose their position as middlemen in the fur trade, did their utmost to dis suade them from their journey with tales of natives who never Show mercy toward strangers, of horrible monsters, which de voured men and canoes together and of heat so excessive that it would inevitably cause our death.

The Sixty Years' War for the Great Lakes contains twenty essays concerning not only military and naval operations, but also the political, economic, social, and cultural interactions of individuals and groups during the struggle to control the great freshwater lakes and rivers between the Ohio Valley and the Canadian Shield. Contributing scholars represent a wide variety of disciplines and institutional affiliations from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Collectively, these important essays delineate the common thread, weaving together the series of wars for the North American heartland that stretched from 1754 to 1814. The war for the Great Lakes was not merely a sideshow in a broader, worldwide struggle for empire, independence, self-determination, and territory. Rather, it was a single war, a regional conflict waged to establish hegemony within the area, forcing interactions that divided the Great Lakes nationally and ethnically for the two centuries that followed.

Ozhaguscodaywayquay, the daughter of the Ojibway chief Waubojeeg, lived in what we now know as northern Wisconsin until she married the Irish fur trader John Johnston. The couple moved to Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, where they operated a major trading post in what was perhaps the most important crossroads in the upper Great Lakes region.
