Informazioni su questo libro

In the rugged wilderness between New Hampshire and Quebec, a cartographical error after the American Revolution left a small pocket of land entirely unaccounted for. Both the United States and Great Britain claimed it, yet neither effectively governed it. Frustrated by double taxation and constant threats of arrest from two different countries, the few hundred settlers living there did something extraordinary: they declared absolute independence. From 1832 to 1835, the Republic of Indian Stream operated as a fully sovereign micro-nation. They drafted a constitution, formed a legislature, created their own laws, and even maintained a tiny, makeshift army to fend off trespassing sheriffs from both American and British jurisdictions. This highly entertaining historical account explores the absurdities of life in a country that officially did not exist. It details the smuggling operations, the tense standoffs with heavily armed tax collectors, and the eventual diplomatic crisis that forced military intervention to finally dissolve the rebellious settlement. Dive into this forgotten frontier tale and uncover a fascinating footnote of history where a few stubborn loggers and farmers took on two superpowers to defend a piece of land no one could accurately draw on a map.
