The book offers a comprehensive examination of the development of Chicago and its role in the evolution of the Northwestern frontier, encompassing its geographical significance and early colonial history. The narrative aims to provide a scholarly yet accessible exploration of the formative years of Chicago, including the establishment of Fort Dearborn.  The opening of this work introduces readers to the natural landscape that shaped early Chicago and emphasizes the strategic importance of the Chicago Portage as a vital conduit between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. Quaife discusses how this portage was a pivotal point for fur traders and explorers, ultimately setting the stage for the city's growth and development. He highlights the historical confusion around the portage's characteristics and the fluctuations of the Des Plaines River, which influenced the challenges faced by early travelers and traders in the region.
