Karamanski's sweeping maritime history demonstrates the far-ranging impact that the tools and infrastructure developed for navigating the Great Lakes had on the national economies, politics, and environment of continental North America. Synthesizing popular as well as original historical scholarship, Karamanski weaves a colorful narrative illustrating how disparate private and government interests transformed these vast and dangerous waters into the largest inland water transportation system in the world. Karamanski explores both the navigational and sailing tools of First Nations peoples and the dismissive and foolhardy attitude of early European maritime sailors. He investigates the role played by commercial boats in the Underground Railroad, as well as how the federal development of crucial navigational resources exacerbated sectionalism in the antebellum United States. Ultimately Mastering the Inland Sea shows the undeniable environmental impact of technologies used by the modern commercial maritime industry. This expansive story illuminates the symbiotic relationship between infrastructure investment in the region's interconnected waterways and North America's lasting economic and political development." --Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Navigation $z Great Lakes Region (North America) $x History. 650 0 $a Inland navigation $z Great Lakes Region (North America) $x History. 650 0 $a Aids to navigation $z Great Lakes Region (North America) $x History. 650 0 $a Lighthouses $z Great Lakes Region (North America) $x History. 650 7 $a Aids to navigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801999 650 7 $a Inland navigation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973596 650 7 $a Lighthouses $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998630 650 7 $a Navigation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01035085 651 0 $a Great Lakes Region (North America) $x History. 651 0 $a Great Lakes (North America) $x History. 651 7 $a Great Lakes $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240563 651 7 $a Great Lakes Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01258523 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20220209011140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF878EAC897511EC94F7A2945EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
