The Great Northwest is a two-book Christian historical fiction series by Linda Chaikin. Empire Builders (1994) and Winds of Allegiance (1996) are set in the American Northwest during a period of westward expansion and territorial conflict. The books follow characters whose lives are shaped by the opportunities and dangers of the frontier.
Chaikin brings the same historical detail to the American West that she applies to her more exotic settings. The series explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and faith against a backdrop of a young nation expanding into new territory, with the natural landscape playing a significant role in the story.
