This fascinating case study examines two communities separated by the St. Lawrence River: Cornwall, Ontario, and Massena, New York, from the end of the Revolutionary War to the present. Moving from the struggles of early settlers to industrialization and beyond, Claire Puccia Parham chronicles how the residents of both areas created similar social, political, and economic institutions because of their peripheral locations in a capitalist world system and their inherent congregational and democratic values. These distinctive views often brought them into conflict with national leaders.Cornwall (Ont.)HistoryMassena (N.Y.)HistoryNorthern boundary of the United StatesHistory, LocalSaint Lawrence SeawayHistoryUnited StatesRelationsCanadaCase studiesCanadaRelationsUnited StatesCase studiesCanadaHistoryUnited StatesHistory971.3/75Parham Claire Puccia1614576MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829199603321From great wilderness to Seaway towns3944423UNINA
