Mahon, History of the Second Seminole War , rev. ed. (1985); Virginia Peters, The Florida Wars (1979); and Francis Paul Prucha, Sword of the Republic (1969).
    The concept of a “frontier” as a place of encounter rather than a barrier is explored in Thomas Clark and John Guice, Frontiers in Conflict: The Old Southwest, 1795–1830 (1989); Richard White, The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region (1991); Gregory Nobles, American Frontiers: Cultural Encounters and Continental Conquest (1997); Andrew Cayton and Fredrika Teute, eds., Contact Points (1998); and Stephen Aron, American Confluence: The Missouri Frontier (2006). On the Great Plains, two books by Elliott West are valuable: The Contested Plains (1998) and The Way to the West (1995). See also Andrew Isenberg, The Destruction of the Bison (2000) and Terry Jordan, North American Cattle-Ranching Frontiers (1993).
    Canadian-American relations can be examined in Arthur Burt, The United States, Great Britain and British North America (1961); Reginald Stuart, United States Expansionism and British North America (1988); Kenneth Bourne, Britain and the Balance of Power in North America (1967); and Bradford Perkins, Castlereagh and Adams (1964). For the diplomatic crises of Van Buren’s administration, see Kenneth Stevens, Border Diplomacy (1989), supplemented with Albert Corey, The Crisis of 1830–1842 in Canadian–American Relations (1941). For the Canadian perspective, I consulted Gerald Craig, Upper Canada, The Formative Years (1963) and Colin Read, The Rising in Western Upper Canada (1982). The authoritative history of the Canadian-American boundary dispute and its resolution by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty is now Francis Carroll, A Good and Wise Measure (Toronto, 2001). Also see Frederick Merk, Fruits of Propaganda in the Tyler Administration (1971); Howard Jones, To the Webster-Ashburton Treaty (1977); Kenneth Stevens, Border Diplomacy: The Caroline and McLeod Affairs (1989); and Howard Jones and Donald Rakestraw, Prologue to Manifest Destiny: Anglo-American Relations in the 1840s (1997).
    George Rogers Taylor, The Transportation Revolution (1951) is an enduring classic. The important political implications of this revolution are demonstrated in John Lauritz Larson, Internal Improvement (2001). Also see Louis C. Hunter, Steamboats on the Western Rivers (1949); Nathan Miller, The Enterprise of a Free People: Economic Development in New York During the Canal Period (1962); Carter Goodrich, Government Promotion of American Canals and Railroads (1966); Maurice Baxter, The Steamboat Monopoly (1972); Brooke Hindle, Emulation and Invention (1981); Karl Raitz, ed., The National Road (1996); James Dilts, The Great Road: The Building of the Baltimore & Ohio (1993); and John Majewski, A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia Before the Civil War (2000).
