Life on the Upper Susquehanna, 1783-1860 is the history of the Upper Susquehanna River authored by James A. Frost, an American historian and university president, in the year 1951.[1] The book offers a succinct historical account of the Upper Susquehanna Valley from the conclusion of the American Revolution to the onset of the American Civil War.[2] It comprehensively delineates the social, political, economic, and cultural evolution from the frontier period to attaining a prosperous and stable community through a series of adaptations.[3]
Reception[edit]
William A. Russ Jr. offered a positive review for the Journal of American History. Russ praised Frost's exceptional portrayal of the transition from barbarism to settled community life in the Upper Susquehanna. Russ was particularly impressed with Frost's method of connecting local history with that of the state and nation, which effectively explained regional incidents and the impact of national events such as the Alien and Sedition Acts, Antimasonry, nativism, and Free Soilism.[4]
