During the political and military struggle that led to the formation of the US, and during the first decades of the nascent republic, borders with wilderness and with other colonial territories were in ferment. Historians explore what are now called ethnic and national identities and resulting directions and strengths of loyalty among people, particularly those who were bought and sold with the Louisiana Purchase, and in what became The Deep South of the US. They discuss dilemmas among Native Americans and Free Blacks, building fortunes through family connections and local community, and personal ambition in government and military service. The anthology provides a welcome reminder that things could have turned out differently than they did. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
