American Confluence: The Missouri Frontier from Borderland to Border State (A History of the Trans-Appalachian Frontier)

In the heart of North America, the Missouri, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers come together, uniting waters from west, north, and east on a journey to the south. This is the region that Stephen Aron calls the American Confluence. Aronâ€™s innovative book examines the history of that regionâ€•a home to the Osage, a colony exploited by the French, a new frontier explored by Lewis and Clarkâ€•and focuses on the regionâ€™s transition from a place of overlapping borderlands to one of oppositional border states. American Confluence is a lively account that will delight both the amateur and professional historian.
