Barbara Appleby is a meticulous historian and archivist whose work centers on the material culture of 19th-century American commerce. Drawing on decades of experience with primary documents, she brings forgotten ledgers and business records to light, allowing readers to glimpse the daily rhythms of river trade after the Civil War.
