ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

Early American Places focuses on the history of North America from contact to the Mexican War, locating historical developments in the specific places where they occurred and were contested. Though these developments often involved far-flung parts of the world, they were experienced in particular communities—the local places where people lived, worked, and made sense of their changing worlds. By restricting its focus to smaller geographic scales, but stressing that towns, colonies, and regions were part of much larger networks, Early American Places will combine up-to-date scholarly sophistication with an emphasis on local particularities and trajectories. Books in the series will be exclusively revised dissertations. The collaborating presses’ responsibilities are divided geographically. UGA Press focuses on the southeastern colonies, the plantation economies of the Caribbean, and the Spanish borderlands. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ covers the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic colonies, and French and British Canada. Northern Illinois University Press covers the old Northwest. Nebraska focuses on the American far West.
