This historical documentary is the story of the Ohio Company of Associates, a group of Revolutionary War officers and soldiers, and how, in 1788, they first opened the door for westward expansion of the new United States. At Marietta, Ohio, they began the first legal, organized American settlement in the old Northwest Territory.

Besides Marietta, the Ohio Company established two additional settlements in the second year. One of them was Belle Prairie, today’s Belpre, situated in a lush river bottom where the best farmers lived.
