Book Description
The author was an American entrepreneur who traveled the world. He is believed to be the inspiration behind Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days." In 1853, he traveled to Melbourne, Australia and stayed almost three years, establishing a business there. He describes the growth of the city, which was without a wharf when he arrived, and went on to become commercially viable. The writings reveal a young merchant explorer seeking out new experiences and new business ventures in faraway lands.

The second volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines how the United States rose to great power status in the nineteenth century and how the rest of the world has shaped the United States. Mixing top-down and bottom-up perspectives, insider and outsider views, cultural, social, political, military, environmental, legal, technological, and other veins of analysis, it places the United States, Indigenous nations, and their peoples in the context of a rapidly integrating world. Specific topics addressed in the volume include nation and empire building, inter-Indigenous relations, settler colonialism, slavery and statecraft, the Mexican-American War, global integration, the antislavery international, the global dimensions of the Civil War, overseas empire-building, state formation, international law, global capitalism, border-crossing movement politics, technology, health, the environment, immigration policy, missionary endeavors, mobility, tourism, expatriation, cultural production, colonial intimacies, borderlands, the liberal North Atlantic, US-African relations, Islamic world encounters, the US island empire, the greater Caribbean world, and transimperial entanglements.
