description: This book reconstructs the experiences of two major American cities--each a center of regional culture--in an important historical period, the 1830s. Discussing such topics as economic growth, welfare, politics, education, class, family, religion, philanthropy, disorder and violence, and responses to economic and political reverses, this study offers a fascinating contrast between these two communities.
