Contesting the Public Lands The last three decades have been the story of the consequences of these laws and management practices unfolding across the American natural and political landscape. Recent Currents Despite its promise, ecosystem management has not solved all of the environmental problems evident on the public lands. Discussion of the Literature Histories of the public lands fall into several categories, each of which have shifted in their emphases over time. Primary Sources The primary evidence for public land history is voluminous, too much for a single scholar to assimilate.
Bureaucracies The public lands agencies eventually archive their materials at the National Archives, including their branches around the country.

Jun 23, Janelle V. Dvorak rated it really liked it Recommends it for: I was fairly well-versed in the history of Wisconsin during the Civil War proper, but no so much in the history of settlement ca. This book gives a valuable and reliable history of that period and of Civil War Wisconsin as well. Current's writing style is a bit dry, so I wouldn't exactly read this on the porch on a hot summer's day, but it earns five stars as a resource.
