An excellent account of the pioneer life and tge settlement of the west. This book also takes a look at the scientists of the time that urged the American Government to learn from their mistakes of clear cutting & farming the west to quickly. It forshadows the 1930's Great Depression as a result of drastically changing the western landscape ending in dramatic temperature changes, weather patterns, & climate change.
