The book will interest students of American Studies, French Revolutionary history, travel literature, Rousseau, and utopian fiction. We add to that potential audience those persons . . . with personal or professional roots in the regions around the banks of the Ohio.” —Kathleen Hardesty Doig, XVIII New Perspectives on the Eighteenth Century
