Book Review

Nation on the Move: Mobility in U.S. History. Ed. by Cornelis A. van Minnen and Sylvia L. Hilton. (Amsterdam: VU University Press, 2002. 176 pp. Paper, $35.00, ISBN 90-5383-839-2.)
Nation on the Move is a collection of ten original essays and a comprehensive introduction focusing on the importance of geographic and social mobility in American history. The essays were selected from eighteen papers presented at the Roosevelt Study Center's Fifth Middelburg Conference of European Historians of the United States in 2001. Cornelis A. van Minnen and Sylvia L. Hilton both organized the conference and edited the essays for publication.	1
The essays range from James Baird's analysis of the migration of slave overseers in colonial Virginia to Giovanni Fabbi's study of the migration of African Americans from South Carolina during World War I to Ole Moen's historiographical assessment of geographical and social mobility today. They embrace a variety of methodologies from David Brown's traditional biographical approach—focusing on the effect of travel on Hinton Rowan Helper's changing attitudes toward slavery—to Howell John Harris's quantitative analysis of the migration of members of the International Molders Union of North America to Robert M. Lewis's study of the meaning of daguerreotypes of migratory gold miners during California's gold rush.	. . .
