While political activists have long lamented the cultural and economic marginalization of Appalachia in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the region has similarly been excluded from the study of colonial expansion, transatlantic conflict, and slavery in the early modern Atlantic world. Drawing on a wealth of sources in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Latin, and English, this monograph underscores the chaotically international, polyglot nature of early Appalachian history and highlights the region as a focal point of imperial conflict during the early modern period. It also explores the European fascination with Appalachian mineral resources from 1528 to 1715, reorienting Appalachian history within the fields of Latin American, early American, and Atlantic history. Ultimately, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic offers fresh perspectives for scholars and students and suggests new avenues for research in Native American and Indigenous studies, environmental studies, and Appalachian studies.
