"This volume is a must-read for those interested in the history of the Great Plains, and especially for those seeking a fresh approach to timeworn stories of the past."—Sara M. Gregg, Nebraska History Magazine
"The Greater Plains achieves the difficult task of weaving together research spanning eight hundred years of history into a coherent whole. The result is a bold interdisciplinary collection of research that will be valuable to scholars of history, archeology, Native American studies, ecology, and geography."—Jacob Schmidt, South Dakota History
"The Greater Plains provides a needed reinterpretation of environmental issues on the Great Plains by placing emphasis on the daily process of change rather than on major events."—Blake Johnson, Montana: The Magazine of Western History
“This compendium offers readers cutting-edge research about the Great Plains in a transnational context. Through various categories of analysis, each essay makes substantial contributions to the sociocultural, environmental, agricultural, political, and technological histories of the region.”—David D. Vail, author of Chemical Lands: Pesticides, Aerial Spraying, and Health in North America’s Grasslands since 1945
“The pieces are organized in such a manner as to provide multiple new insights and collectively reframe plains history as a set of interconnected and seamless stories that reveal human relationships to be the mainstays of the plains environment. This anthology will be a very useful contribution to environmental and Great Plains history.”—Leisl Carr Childers, author of The Size of the Risk: Histories of Multiple Use in the Great Basin
