Subject(s): Summary: "The American spirit has always been rooted in expansion and abundance, but this has come at a great cost to the environment. In this book, geologist Ruby McConnell uses the Applegate Trail--the lesser known southern alternative to the Oregon Trail--to tell the story of the American West and our changing attitudes towards wilderness. She explores map-making, land use policies, utopian communities, and resource-based economies, connecting the dots to show how we got to where we are today."--Back cover.
