The work explores the historical expansion of English-speaking peoples across America, beginning from the Alleghanies and reaching the Mississippi between 1769 and 1776.

He emphasizes the significance of events leading to the westward movement and underscores the key players involved, such as frontiersmen, Native American tribes, and European colonizers. Roosevelt's narrative promises to provide detailed accounts of the individuals and battles that shaped the early years of American settlement beyond the Alleghenies, as well as insights into the lasting implications of these historical events.
