Charles R. Ritcheson – författare

In this important new work on Britain's policy toward the United States in the critical early years of independence, Charles R. Ritcheson re-examines the Adams thesis that 'the character of all our negotiations wit Great Britain has borne the stamp of liberal concession on our part, and of reluctant, niggardly boon-peddling on hers.' The book includes the text of the Treaty and ten other documents on trade and other subjects from British and American sources.
