Book excerpt: Excerpt from The West in the Diplomacy of the American Revolution In this essay I have tried to show to what extent and in what respects the Mississippi Valley was a subject Of diplo matic negotiations in the American Revolution. Altho many different views have been advanced on this question, I do not believe that any American scholar has, as yet, made any considerable use Of the material available in this coun try and Europe for the purpose Of getting at the exact truth. Boniol did not appreciate the importance Of the West in the diplomacy of the American Revolution, and, altho he quotes many important documents bearing on the subject, he omits many of the most valuable, and in no sense does he attempt to explain the whole question.
