Description
Addresses how 19th-century Americans interacted with nature and the environment.

Reviews:
-Black considers changing ideas about nature and the environment in nineteenth-century America, beginning with colonial times. He discusses the influence of agriculture, technology, trade areas, nature writing, mining, farming, the environment during the Civil War, factories and industrialization, and conservation efforts toward the end of the century. —SciTech Book News
-Students looking for well-documented fact bites for research papers will find the book useful....The book begins and ends with a fascinating narrative on the trashing and subsequent restoration of Niagara Falls in the 19th century. Recommended. Public and general libraries, and reference collections serving lower-level undergraduates. —Choice
