This compilation of seminal essays introduces students to the most
exciting scholarship and writing on the environmental history in
the United States. With primary documents that illustrate the
conditions, perception, and influences of environmental issues from
the pre-Columbian era to the present, the book invites students to
analyze not only the connections between people and nature, but
popular ideas of the environment in American history. Subjects
include the changing American landscape, virgin soil epidemics and
biological invasions, the impact of colonialism and industrial
development, conservation, and the environmental movement and the
backlash against it.
An editorial introduction and headnotes for each chapter add
scholarly value to the readings and documents. Students and
instructors of American environmental history will find this an
ideal collection for their courses and research.
