She was involved in land speculation in Florida and in international smuggling, and was caught up in three different slave systems. She was also a part of far larger histories. Marsh's lifetime saw new connections being forged across nations, continents, and oceans by war, empire, trade, navies, slavery, and print, and these developments shaped and distorted her own progress and the lives of those close to her. Colley brilliantly weaves together the personal and the epic in this compelling story of a woman in world history.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World History | Linda Colley | Paperback | 9780385721493 | Used: Like New | Biography 1659720","offer_id":48696915263640,"sku":"1659720","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71_q_IMx56L.jpg?v=1773767257","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ordeal-of-elizabeth-marsh-a-woman-in-world-history","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
