This book offers a fresh and innovative account of the history of
environmentalism in the United States, challenging the dominant
narrative in the field. In the widely-held version of events, the
US environmental movement was born with the publication of Rachel
Carson's Silent Spring in 1962 and was driven by the increased
leisure and wealth of an educated middle class. Chad Montrie's
telling moves the origins of environmentalism much further back in
time and attributes the growth of environmental awareness to
working people and their families. From the antebellum era to the
end of the twentieth century, ordinary Americans have been at the
forefront of organizing to save themselves and their communities
from environmental harm. This interpretation is nothing short of a
substantial recasting of the past, giving a more accurate picture
of what happened, when, and why at the beginnings of the
environmental movement. >
