Lachlan McGillivray, Indian trader : the shaping of the southern colonial frontier /
Cashin, Edward J.,1927-2007.
Athens : University of Georgia Press,
c1992.
On the southern colonial frontier--the lands south of the Carolinas from the Savannah to the Mississippi rivers--Indian traders were an essential commercial and political link between Native Americans and European settlers. By following the career of one influential trader from 1736 to 1776, Edward J. Cashin presents a historical perspective of the frontier not as the edge of European civilization but as a zone of constant change and interaction between many cultures.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 373-389) and index.
