SKETCHES OF INTRIGUING PEOPLE and the Curious events they suffered while they  lived in the wilderness of the Northwest Territory. by Frank E. Kuron. Softbound, 6’ x p”, 323 pages. In 7887 the Northwest territory was opened for settlement. With great anticipation, as well as extraordinary courage and resolve, citizens of the new United States ventured from the civilized communities established along the Atlantic, into the expansive wilderness lying beyond the Appalachians. These individuals were in possession of an indomitable spirit that had gotten them through a revolution and now guided them into the unknown; an inherent American spirit that is still recognizable today. Intriguing episodes of their lives are retold, often in their own words. As you read excerpts from diaries, letters, and newspapers of the day, you’ll be given a rare and raw glimpse into some of the most daring lives lived on the frontier.                      No. 703558
