Hardback. Condizione: New. Detroit's industrial health has long been crucial to the American economy. Today's troubles not withstanding, Detroit has experienced multiple periods of prosperity, particularly in the second half of the eighteenth century, when the city was the center of the thriving fur trade. Its proximity to the West as well as its access to the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River positioned this new metropolis at the intersection of the fur-rich frontier and the Atlantic trade routes. In Frontier Seaport, Catherine Cangany details this seldom-discussed chapter of Detroit's history. She argues that by the time of the American Revolution, Detroit functioned much like a coastal town as a result of the prosperous fur trade, serving as a critical link in a commercial chain that stretched all the way to Russia and China - thus opening Detroit's shores for eastern merchants and other transplants. This influx of newcomers brought its own transatlantic networks and fed residents' desires for popular culture and manufactured merchandise. Detroit began to be both a frontier town and seaport city: a mixed identity, Cangany argues, that prevented it from becoming a thoroughly "American" metropolis.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 'Frontier Seaport,' Catherine Cangany looks at the economy, culture, and politics of colonial Detroit to better understand its coexistence in both the Atlantic world and the frontier. Although Detroit s frontier associations have been well documented, Cangany argues that Detroit s Atlantic connections were thoroughly established by the mid-eighteenth century despite the settlement s 650-mile separation from the east coast and rivaled those of more cosmopolitan spaces. Drawing on business records, customs and port papers, personal and commercial correspondence, visual images, and much else, Cangany demonstrates that Detroit s positioning as a successful yet remote fur-trading center in fact hastened its economic and cultural incorporation into the broader Atlantic world. Located at the heart of the Great Lakes, inhabited and fought over by three world powers, and within easy reach of furs and fur-suppliers, Detroit occupied a geographically desirable and financially profitable niche in the fur trade. This position in turn made it prone to regular influxes of eastern merchants and other transplants, who brought with them their transatlantic commercial networks and their desire for and access to popular culture and merchandise. By considering frontier and Atlantic together, and by parsing Detroit s political, commercial, and cultural ties to each, Canganyforces a reimagining of early America and its relationship with empire.'.…
