Description:
'Christopher Clark's book is the latest and fullest entry into the debate about the mentalite of farmers in the preindustrial United States and the social meanings of the 'great transformation' in the countryside. Focusing on the Connecticut River valley in western Massachusetts between the American Revolution and the Civil War, The Roots Of Rural Capitalism is an important and multifaceted study that advances this debate to new levels of nuance and sophistication.' -Hal S. Barron, Journal of American History.
