Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boys Book of Border Battles In the United States of North America there have been several great battle-fields, each much larger than the battle-field of France. The first was that of the Ohio River country - the Valley of the Beautiful River which drains Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. Another, yet larger, was that of the plains and mountains West, extending from Mexico to Canada, and from the Mississippi to the Rockies. In the Ohio Valley the Shawnees, the Miamis, the War Delawares, the Mingo Iroquois, the Wyandots fought hard to keep the white man out. In the Far West and Southwest the Blackfeet, the Sioux, the Cheyennes, the Kiowas, the Comanches and the Apaches fought equally hard for the same purpose. Boys' Book of Indian Warriors and Boys' Book of Frontier Fighters have told of these and other combats when the red Americans tried to stand off the white Americans. But both battle-fields saw wars of white and white as well as wars of white and red. In the Ohio Valley the American colonists helped their mother country, England, against the French - and the French lost that region. And in the Southwest the United States fought Mexico. Boys' Book of Border Battles is therefore white and red. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
