About the Book Books dealing with State and local histories in the United States may examine a city, a suburb, a municipality, a region, a community, an association, a church group, or the entire State. In fact, local history, is the largest category of history publishing. Often being of the community that is the subject of the book, local or regional historians can provide a specific insight into their subject matter.Also in this Book Titles in this category recount travel across the lands that form part of the great myth of the West. The western part of the United States has often been referred to simply as โThe Westโ. Western expansion in the United States really began to progress after 1800 and the frontier moved further and further as time went by. The West includes the Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin and the West Coast. And in this Book Major Indigenous tribes of the Great Lakes region of the Midwest included: the Hurons, Ottawa, Chippewas or Ojibwas, Potawatomis, Winnebago (Ho-chunk), Menominees, Sacs, Neutrals, Fox, and the Miami. Hurons and Chippewas were most numerous. Some tribes, such as Sac, Fox, and Miami, both hunted and farmed. They depended on the open prairies where they engaged in communal hunts for buffalo (bison). Plains tribes occasionally engaged in agriculture, e.g. tobacco and corn. These included: the Blackfoot, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, Lakota, Lipan, Plains Apache (or Kiowa Apache), Plains Cree, Plains Ojibwe, Sarsi, Shoshone, Stoney, and Tonkawa. Yankee settlers from New England began to arrive in Ohio prior to 1800, and then spread throughout the northern half of the Midwest. Most began as farmers, but many later moved to urban areas as entrepreneurs and professionals. Since its beginnings in the 1830s, and its development as a livestock and grain transport hub, Chicago grew to dominate the Midwestern metropolis landscape, and still does.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
