Money and Finance in Colonial America

From Native American wampum to a "pine tree shilling" from colonial Massachusetts, students get a fascinating look at the development of currency in colonial America. Trade, taxes, early banks, and bankers are illustrated with vivid primary-source imagery and documents. From the cover of a Stamp Act register to announcements of new British-imposed taxes, students get an insight into the dollars and cents of life in the American colonies as the foundations of trade, commerce, and banking were being laid.Samuel, Charlie is the author of 'Money and Finance in Colonial America', published 2003 under ISBN 9780823966028 and ISBN 082396602X.
