In this podcast episode of George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Dr. Joseph Stoltz sits down with Washington Library research fellow Dr. Lawrence B.A. Hatter, an associate professor of early American history at Washington State University, to discuss his topic, “Negotiating Independence: American Overseas Merchant Communities in the Age of Revolution.”
Hatter is the author of Citizens of Convenience: The Imperial Origins of American Nationhood on the U.S.-Canadian Border (Charlottesville, 2017), which won the 2016 Walker Cowan Memorial Prize.
