"Using an impressively diverse combination of artifacts, artwork, maps, and primary literature from over sixty museum collections and archives. Jane L. Cook addresses the experiences of immigrants and artisans and their influence on cultural boundaries along one of eastern North America's most important rivers. Much more than a mere catalogue of objects. Coalescence of Styles provides an important comparative analysis of material heritage, showing how regional furniture embodied the lifestyles of diverse groups of settlers."--BOOK JACKET.
