| Summary: | In the tentative early settlements along the Atlantic coast, the ocean meant everything - offering ties to the outside world and yielding an abundance that allowed colonists to establish thriving outposts. With industrialization in the 19th century, some of these coastal communities grew into important cities. Other settlements - the ones which are the focus of this book - fell behind and survived in relative isolation. |
