"Prairie Dreams" is an environmental history of the Great Plains, a
history of the interaction between European culture and the North
American grasslands. It argues that the stories of man and nature
on the Plains are inextricably linked and that the development of a
more ethical, conservation-focused future for the region must draw
on a more complete and connected understanding of both its human
and natural history. This history, though, is not just a story of
physical change, of ranching, settlement, landscape transformation
and wildlife extinction. It is also the story of our values, morals
and ideology, of our mental relationship with the natural world, of
how we imagine and understand a land and how it is shaped by our
cultures and traditions. The Great Plains have been, and remain, a
place for projecting our dreams and for discovering ourselves, who
we are and what we value most. Their history is an inescapable
parable of our relationship with the land.
