A factually based, uncompromising, unprecedented, well-documented indictment of the U.S. theft of Ohio in the era from 1783 to 1795, as viewed from four separate perspectives in their own words: the U.S. government, eastern woodland Indians, frontier settlers, and British officials Canada - that is, from the Treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1784 at Rome, New York, to the Treaty of Greeneville in 1795 at Greenville, Ohio. [Note: The town dropped the E.] All of which pivoted on the two Treaties of Fort Harmar in 1788-89.
