Title: Unsettling the West: Violence and State Building in the Ohio Valley Author: Rob Harper Narrator: James McSorley Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins Release date: 07-29-19 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 5 ratings Genres: Indigenous Peoples Publisher's Summary: The revolutionary Ohio Valley is often depicted as a chaotic Hobbesian dystopia, in which Indians and colonists slaughtered each other at every turn. In Unsettling the West, Rob Harper overturns this familiar story. Rather than flailing in a morass, the peoples of the revolutionary Ohio Valley actively and persistently sought to establish a new political order that would affirm their land claims, protect them against attack, and promote trade.
