"The author is a master in his field. No one until now has told so much of this story in a solidly researched, critical, and convincing fashion. This book will appeal not only to historians but also to political scientists, legal scholars, environmentalists, and others interested in public policy, federalism, and the politics of water in American society."--Norris Hundley, author of "The Great Thirst: Californians and Water, a History"

In brief case studies [Pisani] puts a human face on events and places."--Martin Ridge, author of "Writing the History of the American West and coauthor of "Westward Expansion: A History of the American Frontier"
