What is Settling the frontier : urban development in America's borderlands, 1600-1830 about?

The Role of Indigenous People in the Founding of America's First Major Border Towns In 1811, while escorting members of John Jacob Astors Pacific Fur Company up the Columbia River, their Chinookan guide refused to advance beyond a particular point that marked a boundary between his people and another indigenous group. Long before European contact, Native Americans created and maintained recognized borders, ranging from family hunting and fishing properties to larger tribal territories to vast river valley regions. Within the confines of these respective borders, the native population often established permanent settlements that acted as the venues for the major political, economic, and social activities that took place in virtually every part of precolonial North America. It was the location of these native settlements that played a major role in the establishment of the first European, and later, American frontier towns. In Settling the Frontier: Urban Development in Americas Borderlands, 16001830 , historian Joseph P. Alessiexamines how the Pecos, Mohawk, Ohioan, and Chinook tribal communities aided Europeans and Americans in the founding of five of Americas earliest border towns
