MISSISSIPPI BEGINNINGS: AN OUTLINE
OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE
EARLIER WEST. BY Henry E. Cham
bers. g. p. Putnam's Sons
H ROM the belief that the history Of
II the making of that portion of our
West which lies within tn. con-
fines Of the Mississippi Valley las been
told in too fragamentary a manner. Mr.
Chambers was impelled to write the pres
ent volume with view TO giving within its
compass a reasonably comprehensive view
of the valley as a whc;e: to tell how the
earlier West" as distinguished from the
later West of plain and prairie and noun
tain, was wrested from the wilderness and
won TO civilization; and to include all the
forces that made for its peopling and in
spired its social and institutional begin
nings
This he does by less conventional routes
than those usually followed by our his
torians. He shows how the promised fer
tility of the valley was the lure that urged
men westward within its bottoms and up-
lands, and illustrates how they Travelled
across country and on the countless
streams. He then tells the story of the
valley as French possession. traces the
beginnings of the English advance west
ward describes the period when Spain
dominated the region. what events befen
during the American Revolution, and Of
the valley since it actually became Ameri-
can through the Louisiana Purchase.
In the course Of this latter part of Mr..
Chambers's narrative he makes as little as
possible of the drum and trumpet" aspect
of the valleys history and as much as
possible of that of its settlers and its lead
ing men together with the things that had
an important bearing on their lives. such
as the coming OF the steamboat. which
solved the upstream problem" He de-
scribes in detail the various types of set
tiers who came into the valley, how they
lived and what effect they had on the
progress of the earlier West. He ends his
narrative with the day of the invasion Of
the prairie. which became in his phrase.
the later West. Mr.. Chambers's treatment
of this story of the making of the Missis-
sippi Valley is distinguished from all others
we know by its stressing the part the
average man had in it's making. making
history just so much more human thereby
