{"product_id":"gleanings-of-freedom-max-grivno-9780252036521","title":"Gleanings of Freedom: Free and Slave Labor Along the Mason-Dixon Line, 1790-1860","description":"Late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century landowners in the hinterlands of Baltimore, Maryland, cobbled together workforces from a diverse labor population of black and white apprentices, indentured servants, slaves, and hired workers. This book examines the intertwined lives of the poor whites, slaves, and free blacks who lived and worked in this wheat-producing region along the Mason-Dixon Line. Drawing from court records, the diaries, letters, and ledgers of farmers and small planters, and other archival sources, Max Grivno reconstructs how these poorest of southerners eked out their livings and struggled to maintain their families and their freedom in the often unforgiving rural economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Grivno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252036522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252036521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 37","brand":"Max Grivno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45264982114559,"sku":"9780252036521","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cfcc6de-4ac7-46d4-83a5-af33b644a8ad.jpg?v=1713419813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gleanings-of-freedom-max-grivno-9780252036521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
