The Southern Frontiers, 1607-1860
Author: John OttoPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313389403
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Although many specialized studies have dealt with the colonial and antebellum American South, very little attention has been paid to the Southern agricultural frontiers before 1860. This study focuses on agriculture, the primary economic activity and the single most important factor in shaping the South's colonial and antebellum frontiers. After examining the agricultural economy on the Southern seaboard during colonial times, Otto explains the economic and environmental forces that led to the expansion of upland and lowland agriculturalists across the trans-Appalachian South during the antebellum period.

After examining the agricultural economy on the Southern seaboard during colonial times, Otto explains the economic and environmental forces that led to the expansion of upland and lowland agriculturalists across the trans-Appalachian South during the antebellum period. Synthesizing sources drawn from history, geography, anthropology, and folklife, Otto has added an important new dimension to our knowledge of the American South. This book is an appropriate resource for courses or studies in Southern and American history, historical geography, folklife, anthropology, and agricultural history.

Book Description
“Covers Lincoln’s background in Kentucky and his lifelong association with the state of his birth . . . entertaining . . . well researched.” —Louisville Courier-Journal Young Abraham Lincoln and his family joined the migration over the Ohio River, but it was Kentucky—the state of his birth—that shaped his personality and continued to affect his life. His wife was from the commonwealth, as were each of the other women with whom he had romantic relationships. Henry Clay was his political idol; Joshua Speed of Farmington, near Louisville, was his lifelong best friend; and all three of his law partners were Kentuckians. During the Civil War, Lincoln is reputed to have said, “I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky.” He recognized Kentucky’s importance as the bellwether of the four loyal slave states and accepted the commonwealth’s illegal neutrality until Unionists secured firm control of the state government. In this book, Lowell Harrison emphasizes the particular skill and delicacy with which Lincoln handled the problems of a loyal slave state populated by a large number of Confederate sympathizers. It was not until decades later that Kentuckians fully recognized Lincoln’s greatness and paid homage to their native son. “An outstanding work.” —James A. Ramage, author of Gray Ghost: The Life of Col. John Singleton Mosby
