By Kevin Schmiesing

Two of the main influential forces in American heritage are company and faith. Merchants and Ministers weaves the 2 jointly in a heritage of the connection among businesspeople and Christian clergy. From fur investors and missionaries who explored the internal of the continent to Gilded-Age company titans and their clerical confidants to black businessmen and their ministerial collaborators within the Civil Rights circulate, Merchants and Ministers tells tales of interactions among businesspeople and clergy from the colonial interval to the current. It provides a posh photo of this courting, highlighting either clash and cooperation among the 2 teams. by way of putting anecdotal element within the context of common advancements in trade and Christianity, Merchants and Ministers lines the contours of yankee background and illuminates these contours with the non-public tales of businesspeople and clergy.
