Backcountry Slave Trader explores the life of William James Smith,
a South Carolina backcountry slave trader, whose entries in his
business ledger and his correspondence were of unusual specificity.
The authors' analyze these entries and his correspondence, which
they argue provide details about the institutional features of the
domestic slave trade not found in earlier published works. The
authors examine the attitude of Smith and how he conducted his
business, and reveal that the interior slave trade and the
characterization of the slave trader are more nuanced than
previously thought.
