Drama of Northwest Territories Told in The End and The Beginning, Published by Outskirts Press
Scottsdale, AZ, September 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The End and The Beginning by Jim Oleson. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the historical fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/theendandthebeginning was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
The Northwest Territories were unlike any other land in America with their enormous lakes, great rivers, endless dark forests and vast prairies providing habitat and sustenance to the original people. Forced west into this American Garden of Eden by the newly arrived, land greedy Europeans were the great tribes of the Iroquois and Delaware sharing the land with the Shawnee and Wyandot. All would soon have to make a stand to save their cultures.
South of the great Ohio River other Europeans were also moving westward and bringing with them their black property to build and work the new tobacco and cotton plantations. Many of these slaves heard of a chance for freedom in the new state of Ohio and, further north beyond its border, Canada, where black men could live free and prosper. Some would risk their lives for a better life.
Into this crucible of social change author Jim Oleson takes his young fictional hero, Jim Morgan, to introduce his readers to this fascinating moment in American history. Through the recreation of actual events and with cameo appearances of historical figures who helped shape these times, the author provides an adroit mixture of fact and fiction. The End and the Beginning gives history buffs new insight into this American drama while providing a vivid, fast-paced narrative for any reader to enjoy.
