{"product_id":"scottish-trade-with-colonial-charleston-david-dobson-9780806358598","title":"Scottish Trade with Colonial Charleston, 1683-1783","description":"The colonial city of Charleston, South Carolina, grew to become the center of commerce for the southern region of British North America, comprising South Carolina, much of North Carolina, and Georgia. This region had links with the West Indies, Africa, the lower Mississippi valley, and latterly Florida. It largely produced, processed, and exported all the major colonial raw materials, timber, furs, sugar, rice, indigo, and--to a small extent--tobacco. Drawing upon original sources found in both Scotland and Charleston, David Dobson here identifies the Scots merchants doing business in Charleston as well the merchants in Scotland with whom they traded. Also covered are the quantities and types of goods bought and sold; the importance of family connections and networking in the success of Scotland's trading ventures; the role of ship-building; Scottish emigration, both voluntary and involuntary; and other more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Dobson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806358599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806358598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clearfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"David Dobson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120274567423,"sku":"9780806358598","price":46.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25a31cc8-24c1-4911-b4e1-74574f5bd015.jpg?v=1687413441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scottish-trade-with-colonial-charleston-david-dobson-9780806358598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
