The Boundaries between Us: Natives and Newcomers along the Frontiers of the Old Northwest Territory, 1750–1850. Ed. by Daniel P. Barr. (Kent: Kent State University Press, 2006. xx, 261 pp. $52.00, ISBN 0-87338-844-5.)

Interest in the trans-Appalachian frontier has grown steadily over the past few years. Advances in methodology and historiographic emphasis—including "the new social history"; "the new Indian history"; ethnohistory; regional and local history; material culture studies; evolving sensibilities of race, culture, ethnicity, and gender created with feminist and ethnic studies; and cross-disciplinary understandings derived from ethnography, cultural anthropology, sociology, cultural geography, and archaeology—have given present-day practitioners tools of unprecedented power and sophistication. Indeed, the field is defined by academic excellence and creative vitality. The Boundaries between Us, edited by assistant professor of history at Robert Morris University Daniel P. Barr, is the most recent in a series of anthologies that explore the eastern frontier experience during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
