s River of Enterprise makes an important addition to our knowledge of mercantile activity in the early nineteenth-century Midwest, or, as she astutely notes, what was once called the Western Country and subsequently the Old Northwest.Her larger arguments about regional identity, however, seem speculative in a study that focuses on Marietta, Ohio, but that speculation does not detract from the larger merits of the study, which will demand the attention of every serious scholar of the region.Gruenwald's River of Enterprise is extraordinary in its presentation of the mercantile networks of the early Ohio Valley.Focusing on Dudley Woodbridge and his son, Dudley Woodbridge, Jr., Gruenwald reveals the broad dimensions of these networks and details their slow shifts
