Though they were often stymied by mismanagement, notions of ethnic and cultural superiority, and eruptions of violence, these entrepreneurs persistently attempted to remake the region into a modern commercial utopia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobalizing the Lower Rio Grande\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the actions of folks like English-born John C. Beales, who convinced a party of Europeans to trek to the isolated Las Moras Creek to build a colony from scratch; Alexander Bourgeois d'Orvanne, who manipulated powerful French and German leaders to support a settlement scheme on the Rio Grande; Spanish-born Jos? San Rom?n and the way he constructed massive transatlantic networks of credit and exchange; and Joseph Kleiber from Strasbourg, who facilitated the construction of a European-owned railroad line along the Rio Grande. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle B.
