Book Description
Sam Coverly was an entrepreneur and an adventurous traveler. His trading took him to China and England, to Montreal and Washington, DC, and as far west as the Missouri Territory. His detailed descriptions of the people and places he visits will appeal to students of early American history and maritime and cultural historians. Born in 1793, the same year as George Washington began his second term as President of the United States, Sam lived to see national roads and a canal built to the western frontier and steamboats plying rivers and lakes. He saw a ten-fold population increase in his beloved Boston and a doubling of the country’s landmass. His journal and correspondence provide readers with eyewitness accounts of life in a rapidly expanding country at the threshold of industrialization and a transportation revolution.
