Western Lands and Waters Series

About the Series

The landscape on which the native peoples, the pioneers, and the settlers lived is the subject of this ongoing series of monographs. Though often illuminated by the story of those men and women, the role of the land and its defining characteristics in shaping their life experiences is paramount in each volume. The importance of water to settlement and development throughout the Far West is highlighted in many of the volumes. Commercial development and exploitation of resources is also a major area of focus.
