Résumé :
|
In this groundbreaking work, William Cronon gives us an environmental perspective on the history of nineteenth-century America. By exploring the ecological and economie changes that made Chicago America's most dy namic 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 becom ing 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.
