Studying the History of the American West

I have been studying the American West for the past year and a half and it has been a very rewarding experience. I am interested in colonialism and frontiers for what they show us about how some cultures can come into conflict with each other and what happens when they do. I am currently working on turning my thesis on the Ottawa Indians of the Maumee Valley into an article which focuses on the colonial efforts of Americans to take possession of Northwest Ohio.
More updates will be added as I progress towards this goal.
