Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Plains, on the Mountains, or Kansas, Colorado and the Rocky Mountains: Agriculturally, Mineralogically and Aesthetically Described During the excursion, I took full notes of everything that fell under my Observation, and also of facts elicited from conversations with those familiar with the Mountains; not with the remotest intention however, of perpetrating the infliction of a book upon the patient public, but for my own gratification and satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Wide Rivers Crossed, Ellen Wohl tells the stories of two rivers—the South Platte on the western plains and the Illinois on the eastern—to represent the environmental history and historical transformation of major rivers across the American prairie. Wohl begins with the rivers’ natural histories, including their geologic history, physical characteristics, ecological communities, and earliest human impacts, and follows a downstream and historical progression from the use of the rivers’ resources by European immigrants through increasing population density of the twentieth century to the present day. The environmental changes in the South Platte and the Illinois reflect the relentless efforts by humans to control the distribution of water: to enhance surface water in the arid western prairie and to limit the spread of floods and drain the wetlands along the rivers in the water-abundant east. In addition, during the past two centuries crops replaced native vegetation; excess snowmelt and rainfall carried fertilizers and pesticides into streams; and levees, dams, and drainage altered distribution. These changes cascaded through networks, starting in small headwater tributaries, and reduced the ability of rivers to supply the clean water, fertile soil, and natural habitats they had provided for centuries. Understanding how these rivers, and rivers in general, function and how these functions have been altered over time will allow us to find innovative approaches to restoring river ecosystems. Wide Rivers Crossed looks at these historical changes and discusses opportunities for much needed protection and restoration for the future."

Download or read book Preserving the Great Plains Rocky Mountains written by Elaine Freed and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we approach the end of the century, we are all too familiar with the look of modern America: the suburbs, the strip malls, the glass office towers, and especially in the West--the prevalence of urban sprawl. The area covered by this book includes New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, North and South Dakota, Illinois, Nebraska, and Wyoming, a vast and varied section of the country with remarkably diverse geography. Elaine Freed has covered huge amounts of territory to present this lively and well-illustrated study of the architecture and the preservation history of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain West. The book is divided into five sections. The first part focuses on the vernacular architecture of the region, the traditions of Native American and Spanish dwellings that Anglo settlers found, and the first makeshift, sometimes mobile structures they built, including trading posts, mills and mining camps, forts, and ranches. The author discusses the railroads and how they made possible the urbanization of the West, and how the automobile has altered the landscape. The second part focuses on historic preservation as an organized movement in the West, using different kinds of preservation to illustrate successes. There are chapters on farms and ranches, ghost towns, main streets, neighborhoods, and downtowns. For anyone concerned with preserving our environment and its architectural and archaeological history, this book is an indispensable guide.
