They also ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough uses five historical personages to tell the uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. 600 10 $a Cutler, Manasseh, $d 1742-1823 600 10 $a Cutler, Ephraim, $d 1767-1853 600 10 $a Putnam, Rufus, $d 1738-1824 600 10 $a Barker, Joseph, $d 1765-1843 600 10 $a Hildreth, Samuel P $q (Samuel Prescott), $d 1783-1863 610 10 $a United States $t Ordinance of 1787 650 0 $a Pioneers $z Ohio River Valley $v Biography 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Ohio River Valley 650 0 $a Large type books 651 0 $a Ohio River Valley $x History $y To 1795 651 0 $a Ohio River Valley $x History 651 0 $a Marietta (Ohio) $x History 655 7 $a Biographies $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305020919.0 952 $l VSPC034 $d 20201024010204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=603B4ED8FA3D11EAACD9246355ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
