"The Greater Plains achieves the difficult task of weaving together research spanning eight hundred years of history into a coherent whole. The result is a bold interdisciplinary collection of research that will be valuable to scholars of history, archeology, Native American studies, ecology, and geography."—Jacob Schmidt, South Dakota History "The Greater Plains provides a needed reinterpretation of environmental issues on the Great Plains by placing emphasis on the daily process of change rather than on major events."—Blake Johnson, Montana: The Magazine of Western History “This compendium offers readers cutting-edge research about the Great Plains in a transnational context. Through various categories of analysis, each essay makes substantial contributions to the sociocultural, environmental, agricultural, political, and technological histories of the region.”—David D. Vail, author of Chemical Lands: Pesticides, Aerial Spraying, and Health in North America’s Grasslands since 1945 “The pieces are organized in such a manner as to provide multiple new insights and collectively reframe plains history as a set of interconnected and seamless stories that reveal human relationships to be the mainstays of the plains environment. This anthology will be a very useful contribution to environmental and Great Plains history.”—Leisl Carr Childers, author of The Size of the Risk: Histories of Multiple Use in the Great Basin
