War of 1812Events and Locationsfrench

Northwest

The War of 1812 sealed the fate of the First Nations of the eastern United States. This is the tragic story of the Northwest Frontier. Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and western Upper Canada became the graveyard of Native hopes. A true border war, the fighting in the Northwest was intense and savage - the horrors of massacre, scalping and torture never distant.
