Frontier Settlement and Market Revolution: The Holland Land Purchase

"Clearly written, thoroughly researched, and cleverly argued, Frontier Settlement and Market Revolution makes a major contribution to a very significant topic: the reconstitution of the agrarian persuasion of nineteenth-century America and the careful location of that persuasion in the social context of rural communities."―Alan Taylor, UC Davis, author of The Divided Ground: Indians, Settlers, and the Northern Borderland of the American Revolution 
"By reconstructing the activities of the Holland Land Company, settlers, and the emerging entrepreneurial elite on New York’s frontier, Brooks demonstrates that the market revolution was spurred primarily by capitalists, while small producers fiercely resisted efforts by landlords to establish market agriculture."―Journal of Economic History
Land development in western New York contributed to some of the most dramatic and convulsive changes in nineteenth-century America. In Frontier Settlement and Market Revolution, Charles E. Brooks explains how the Holland Land Purchase―in which the Holland Land Company purchased 3.3 million acres of land in western New York State― contributed to the development of a frontier region. Powerful cultural and religious changes flowing from evangelical Protestantism, together with settlement and the intensification of market relations, put western New York in the vanguard of capitalist transformation in rural areas. Brooks also describes the ecological impact of frontier settlement and the evolution of private land development based on the decision either to clear land for farming or to harvest forest products for potash, lumber, maple sugar, fuel wood, and scrub pasture.

Larger Trout for the Western Fly Fisherman

UNKNO

The Trout and the Stream presents a far-reaching approach to practical trout fishing and better trout-stream conservation. It offers one of the most comprehensive treatments ever written on life in running water, the needs of trout, and advanced fly-fishing techniques.One chapter describes 10 different methods of nymph fishing, others discuss tackle, floating flies, and special equipment; there is also a detailed study of stream ecology, water chemistry, trout habitat, management, and proven conservation practices. The book shows the true meaning of an ecological system involving the trout and the waters in which it lives.This thoughtful book can improve one's trout fishing - and our trout streams; its practical, authoritative approach has made it a classic in its field.

The Madison, the Gallatin, the Firehole, Henry's Fork of the Snake, the Gibbon, Slough Creek, the Yellowstone--these and a score of other rivers (more than 2,000 miles of them) within a hundred-mile radius make West Yellowstone, Montana, the "trout mecca" of the world. Charlie Brooks, a long-time resident of the area, has pooled his incisive knowledge of fishing and rivers with superb photographer Dan Callaghan to produce the first major fisherman's guide to the region. In Fishing Yellowstone Waters you will learn the fabled pools on these famous rivers, the insect hatches, the best files to use (and when), the most effective methods of fishing each river and the most fruitful times. There are some especially helpful appendixes that list the most popular flies, based on a poll of local tackle dealers made by the authors. Too many people travel long distances to this area but lack the specific knowledge needed to make their trip as productive as it might be. This book can help. But it is also for all fishermen who dream of someday fishing these marvelous, productive waters.
