Many Americans in the Early Republic era saw the seas as another field for national aggrandizement. With a merchant marine that competed against Britain for commercial supremacy and a whaling fleet that circled the globe, the United States sought a maritime empire to complement its territorial ambitions in North America. In With Sails Whitening Every Sea, Brian Rouleau argues that because of their ubiquity in foreign ports, American sailors were the principal agents of overseas foreign relations in the early republic. Their everyday encounters and more problematic interactions—barroom brawling, sexual escapades in port-city bordellos, and the performance of blackface minstrel shows—shaped how the United States was perceived overseas.Rouleau details both the mariners' "working-class diplomacy" and the anxieties such interactions inspired among federal authorities and missionary communities, who saw the behavior of American sailors as mere debauchery. Indiscriminate violence and licentious conduct, they feared, threatened both mercantile profit margins and the nation's reputation overseas. As Rouleau chronicles, the world's oceans and seaport spaces soon became a battleground over the terms by which American citizens would introduce themselves to the world. But by the end of the Civil War, seamen were no longer the nation's principal ambassadors. Hordes of wealthy tourists had replaced seafarers, and those privileged travelers moved through a world characterized by consolidated state and corporate authority. Expanding nineteenth-century America's master narrative beyond the water's edge, With Sails Whitening Every Sea reveals the maritime networks that bound the Early Republic to the wider world.

Описание: "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well." From A Room of One's Own published October 24, 1929 by Virginia Woolf, 1882 - 1941 My husband, Carl, and I met Annie in approximately the year 2000 while she was charismatically managing, hosting, tending bar, waitressing and whatever else needed doing at a local restaurant. We recognized her from her newspaper column photograph in which she wrote a weekly recipe. We had followed her column for quite some time and asked her if she would be willing to cook for us. We were working long hours. She was She delivered meals for us several times a week leaving her creations in our refrigerator. It was magical to come home to see what was for dinner. We came to appreciate her recipes even more because we were sampling them. That led to saving clippings of our favorites that went into our folder marker "A la Annie." When we had occasion to prepare something wonderful, we would consult our folder. We learned, early on in our relationship, that whenever Annie is, a party follows. This folder was a cookbook in the making. After we retired, I began photographing Annie's recipes as a way of serving to enchance her column. The idea of a cookbook was always on the horizon. We watched and experienced Annie's cooking prowess developing over the years, her talent and artistry always having been evident. The book you hold in your hand is the culmination of years of hard work, experimentation and celebration. Virginia O.
