Excerpt from The Laws and Courts of the Northwest and Indiana Territories Goinothe circuit IN early times. Little can now be gathered beyond the technical recitals of the records to show how, or by what sort of men, the laws were made and administered. It is certain, however, that everything beyond the law itself partook Of the primitive character of the times. Congress passed an act in 1792 allowing two of the judges their expenses in sending an express and in purchasing a boat to go the circuit. Judge Bur net, a lawyer and leading member of the first general as sembly, and afterwards a distinguished judge in Ohio, tells us how the judges and lawyers went the circuit about the year 1801. They generally traveled five or six in company, with a pack-horse to carry baggage and provisions. And were sometimes eight or ten days in the wilderness. There were no bridges and but few ferries. And they were obliged to swim their horses across the streams. In returning from General Court at Marietta to Cincinnati, upon one occasion, the judge was compelled to swim his horse across five different streams. He adds, that one of the chief requisites Of a horse in those days was that he should be a good swimmer.' One of the judges - Judge Parsons - was drowned in 1789 in attempt ing to cross a creek.'

In this book, you will see how foreign countries controlled the laws of these territories and how these states eventually broke away to govern themselves. The text also covers the legal issues with Native Americans, inter-state and the Mexico and Canadian borders, and the development of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government. This guide focuses on materials that are readily available to historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and researchers. Resources that assist in locating not-so-easily accessible materials are also covered. Special sections focus on the legal resources of colonial New York City and Washington, DC—which is still technically in its prestatehood stage.

Federal Ground depicts the haphazard and unplanned growth of federal authority in the Northwest and Southwest Territories, the first U.S. territories established under the new territorial system. The nation's foundational documents, particularly the Constitution and the Northwest Ordinance, placed these territories under sole federal jurisdiction and established federal officials to govern them. But, for all their paper authority, these officials rarely controlled events or dictated outcomes. In practice, power in these contested borderlands rested with the regions' pre-existing inhabitants-diverse Native peoples, French villagers, and Anglo-American settlers. These residents nonetheless turned to the new federal government to claim ownership, jurisdiction, protection, and federal money, seeking to obtain rights under federal law. Two areas of governance proved particularly central: contests over property, where plural sources of title created conflicting land claims, and struggles over the right to use violence, in which customary borderlands practice intersected with the federal government's effort to establish a monopoly on force. Over time, as federal officials improvised ad hoc, largely extrajudicial methods to arbitrate residents' claims, they slowly insinuated federal authority deeper into territorial life. This authority survived even after the former territories became Tennessee and Ohio: although these new states spoke a language of equal footing and autonomy, statehood actually offered former territorial citizens the most effective way yet to make claims on the federal government. The federal government, in short, still could not always prescribe the result in the territories, but it set the terms and language of debate-authority that became the foundation for later, more familiar and bureaucratic incarnations of federal power.

On the basis of both civil and criminal suits, some private and some brought by the government, Professor Tachau demonstrates that the federal courts in Kentucky were immediately accessible, visible, and deeply involved in the lives of the people. The actual legal practice revealed in the records thus contradicts much of the conventional wisdom and traditional assumptions about the "inferiority" of the lower federal judiciary and suggests that a major revision of American legal and constitutional history may be in order.
