Welcome!

Welcome to the companion website for The Environment in American History.

From pre-European contact to the present day, people living in what is now the United States have constantly manipulated their environment. The use of natural resources—animals, plants, minerals, water, and land—has produced both prosperity and destruction, reshaping the land and human responses to it. The Environment in American History is a clear and comprehensive account that vividly shows students how the environment played a defining role in the development of American society.
