Media Reviews
'A valuable, well-documented case study of this significant period of American economic history ... an important addition to the literature.' EH.net 'Although the book concentrates on Virginia, its conclusion seems equally valid for much of the US. Well-organized chapters cover banking, business, agriculture, and poor relief, making it useful for students researching these topics.' CHOICE
