Judith Ridner

A Town In-Between

Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the Early Mid-Atlantic Interior

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study of eighteenth-century Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and its Scots-Irish inhabitants reconsiders the role early American towns played in the development of the American interior.
