Globalizing the Lower Rio Grande Volume 2
European Entrepreneurs in the Borderlands, 1749-1881 Globalizing the Lower Rio Grande highlights the actions of folks like English-born John C. Beales, who convinced a party of Europeans to trek to the isolated Las Moras Creek to build a colony from scratch; Alexander Bourgeois dâOrvanne, who manipulated powerful French and German leaders to support a settlement scheme on the Rio Grande; Spanish-born JosĂ San RomĂn and the way he constructed massive transatlantic networks of credit and exchange; and Joseph Kleiber from Strasbourg, who facilitated the construction of a European-owned railroad line along the Rio Grande.
Often obscured in the history of the nineteenth-century US-Mexico borderlands, European-born entrepreneurs played a definitive role in pushing the Lower Rio Grande borderlands into Atlantic markets. These entrepreneurs persistently attempted to remake the region into a modern commercial utopia.
