- George Boyd (1732-87), Portsmouth, New Hampshire, merchant-shipbuilder, left a letter book that sheds light on several important aspects of colonial American economic activity. Shipbuilding played a significant role in the fast-growing colonial economy, and Boyd was the key shipbuilder in Portsmouth in the decade before the Revolution. Boyd's correspondence also provides a fresh look at the behavior of a successful export merchant, and affords an opportunity to explore the values, ethics, and styles of colonial business.
