Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Jack Temple Kirby Charts The History Of The Low Country Between The James River In Virginia And Albemarle Sound In North Carolina. The Algonquian Word For This Country, Which Means 'Swamponahill, ' Was Transliterated As 'Poquosin' By Seventeenthcentury English Settlers. Interweaving Social, Political, Economic, And Military History With The Story Of The Landscape, Kirby Shows How Native American, African, And European Peoples Have Adapted To And Modified This Tidewater Area In The Nearly Four Hundred Years Since The Arrival Of Europeans. Kirby Argues That European Settlement Created A Lasting Division Of The Region Into Two Distinct Zones Often In Conflict With Each Other: The Cosmopolitan Coastal Area, Open To Markets, Wealth, And Power Because Of Its Proximity To Navigable Rivers And Sounds, And A More Isolated Hinterland, Whose People And Their Way Of Life Were Graduallyand Grudginglysubjugated By Railroads, Canals, And War. Kirby'S Wideranging Analysis Of The Evolving Interaction Between Humans And The Landscape Offers A Unique Perspective On Familiar Historical Subjects, Including Slavery, Nat Turner'S Rebellion, The Civil War, Agricultural Modernization, And Urbanization.
