Indian wars of the West

About this book

Timothy Flint was one of the most significant literary figures in the early history of the Old Northwest. He was a minister and graduate of Harvard who went west in 1815 to carry out missionary work. For the next ten years he traveled in the Mississippi Valley, publishing in 1826 a memoir called ***Recollections of the Last Ten Years***. In 1833 he published ***Biographical Memoir of Daniel Boone***, which did much to develop the Boone legend. He also founded and edited the ***Western Monthly***, a literary magazine in Cincinnati from 1827-1830.
