Description
A brief socioeconomic history of the town of Charlotte, Vermont, from its inception to the beginning of the Civil War. Charlotte as "cultural frontier," or borderland geographic space of interaction of varying peoples. How the 19th-century American market operated in this frontier - among settlers, French Canadian migrants, and Irish immigrants. Charlotte's early town planning, land distribution, and the relationship between ethnicity, profession, and economic class. The socioeconomic successes and failures of Irish and French Canadian immigrants in Charlotte. Calls for new ways of thinking about cultural and geographic borderlands like Charlotte - that we might learn more from its diverse popular interactions. Included in a collection of essays on the development of business and culture in the United States during the first decades after the American Revolution.
