High school and college students will not only find this book extremely comprehensive, but will also find its heated discussions exceptionally engaging.Some of the major topics covered include differences between the way Native Americans and early settlers treated the land, The Land Ordinance of 1785, Thomas Jefferson's views about the land, the commercial progress of New England river valleys, establishing the Adirondack Forest Preserve in 1885, Theodore Roosevelt's thoughts on forest conservation, the pros and cons of hydraulic gold mining, the nearextinction of the North American bison, andThe Lacey ActMagoc's book will prove an essential asset for all American history students.
