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.
