description: In this groundbreaking work, a Yale University professor of history gives an environmental perspective on the history of 19th-century America. No one has written about Chicago with more power, clarity, and intelligence than Cronon. Indeed, no one has ever written a better book about a city.--Boston Globe. Photographs and maps. \n \nIn this groundbreaking work, William Cronon gives us an environmental perspective on the history of nineteenth-century America. By exploring the ecological and economic changes that made Chicago America's most dynamic 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 becoming 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.\n \nWinner of the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize\n
