Produktbeschreibung

In "The Ohio River Trade, 1788-1830," Hazel Yearsley Shaw provides a meticulous examination of the economic and cultural dynamics surrounding the Ohio River trade during a pivotal era in American history. Shaw employs a blend of narrative non-fiction and critical analysis, utilizing primary sources such as merchant accounts, diaries, and governmental records to paint a vivid picture of the river as a conduit for commerce and cultural exchange. The work is deeply contextualized within the broader scope of early American development, illustrating how the trade network facilitated not only economic prosperity but also migration, settler colonialism, and the eventual rise of the Midwest as an integral part of the nation'Äôs fabric. Shaw'Äôs background as a historian with expertise in transportation and trade in early America informs her nuanced narrative. With a Ph.D. focused on American economic history, Shaw has dedicated her career to bridging gaps in historical knowledge concerning the Midwest and the Ohio River region specifically. Her extensive research in both archival repositories and historical societies underscores her commitment to revealing overlooked aspects of American economic history. This book is essential for historians, economists, and general readers alike who seek to understand the complexities of early American trade and its lasting implications. Shaw'Äôs engaging prose and thorough research make this a compelling read for anyone interested in the interconnections of geography, economy, and society in shaping the United States.
