Description

In this groundbreaking work, William Cronon gives us an environmental perspective on the history of nineteenth-century America.

By exploring the ecological and economic changes that made Chicago America's most dynamic city and the Great West its hinterland, Mr. Cronon opens a new window onto our national past. This is the story of city and country becoming ever more tightly bound in a system so powerful that it reshaped the American landscape and transformed American culture.

The world that emerged is our own. Winner of the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize
