The overseas trade of British America : a narrative history /Thomas M. Truxes. "In a single, readily digestible, coherent narrative, historian Thomas M. Truxes presents the 300-year history of the overseas trade of British America. Born from seeds planted in Tudor England in the sixteenth century, Atlantic trade allowed the initial survival, economic expansion, and later prosperity of British America, and brought vastly different geographical regions, each with a distinctive identity and economic structure, into a single fabric. Truxes shows how colonial American prosperity was only possible because of the labor of enslaved Africans, how the colonial economy became dependent on free and open markets, and how the young United States owed its survival in the struggle of the American Revolution to Atlantic trade."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 970.980

Island of the blue foxes : disaster and triumph on the world's greatest scientific expedition /Stephen R. Brown. "The immense eighteenth-century scientific journey, variously known as the Second Kamchatka Expedition or the Great Northern Expedition, from St. Petersburg across Siberia to the coast of North America, involved over 3,000 people and cost Peter the Great over one-sixth of his empire's annual revenue. Led by the legendary Danish captain Vitus Bering, the ten-year voyage, which included scientists, artists, mariners, soldiers, and laborers, discovered Alaska, opened the Pacific fur trade, and, thanks to the brilliant naturalist Georg Steller, discovered dozens of New World plants and animals. The story of the expedition is a tale not only of adventure and historic achievement, but also of shipwreck, endurance, and "one of the most tragic and ghastly trials of suffering in the annals of maritime and arctic history.""--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(573)"17"

Bering's search for the Strait : the first Kamchatka expedition 1725-1730 "From 1725, when second-in-command Chirikov led a detachment of twenty-three men eastward from the Admiralty College courtyard in St. Petersburg, to five years later when Bering and his men returned to the capital, their expedition was plagued with difficulty - disease and starvation among the troops and a lack of cooperation from officials and citizens along the way. Nevertheless, Bering succeeded in obtaining a wealth of information on the land and people of Kamchatka. Indeed, the First Kamchatka Expedition was the first important scientific naval expedition in Russia. As a result of the expedition, Bering also claimed the existence of a strait between the two continents, although there was doubt in St. Petersburg about the validity of his assertion. [...] Much has been written about Bering's Second Kamchatka Expedition in 1733-1742, when the Russians laid claim to Alaska, but this book is the first major work devoted wholly to the First Kamchatka Expedition."--Provided by the publisher. 1990 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(985)"1725/1730"

The man who buried Nelson : the surprising life of Robert Mylne /Robert Ward. This is a biography of Robert Mylne, who was born in Edinburgh in 1733 and was descended from a line of Master Masons to the Scottish Crown. He came to London at the age of 26 and won a competition to design and build Blackfriars Bridge. Following on from that he became Surveyor to St Paul's Cathedral, clerk of works to Greenwich Hospital and engineer to London's main waterworks. In his role as Surveyor of St Paul's, he was responsible for fitting out the cathedral for Nelson's funeral. Mylne prepared the sarcophagus which would rest above floor level in the crypt and arranged to place into it a secret hoard of coins and medals; this event is described for the first time in the book. There are 40 black and white photos illustrating Mylne's life and works. There are extensive notes, a list of sources and a detailed index. 2007. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92MYLNE, ROBERT
