In the heart of North America; the Missouri; Ohio; and Mississippi rivers come together; uniting waters from west; north; and east on a journey to the south. This is the region that Stephen Aron calls the American Confluence. Aron’s innovative book examines the history of that region―a home to the Osage; a colony exploited by the French; a new frontier explored by Lewis and Clark―and focuses on the region’s transition from a place of overlapping borderlands to one of oppositional border states. American Confluence is a lively account that will delight both the amateur and professional historian.
