Summary:	This book uses approximately seventy letters written to family members and business associates to recreate the life of George L. Brown, a northern-born merchant who lived in Newnansville, Florida, 1840-1857. Brown participated in this region's transformation from a subsistence and herding economy to a cotton economy in the decade before railroads linked Florida to northern markets.
