Combining narrative history with data-rich social and economic
analysis, this study examines the failure of frontier farms in the
antebellum Northwest Territory, where legislatively created markets
and poor surveying resulted in massive investment losses for both
individual farmers and the national economy. The history of farming
in the Great Lakes region is described, with specific focus on the
State of Michigan, viewed through a case study of Midland County.
Inter and intra-state differences in soil endowments, public and
private promoters of site-specific investment opportunities, time
trends in settled populations and the experiences of individual
investors are covered in detail.
