"Jack Kirby has written a beautiful, enjoyable, and valuable study about a little-known part of America. In so doing, he vividly illustrates the powerful but often overlooked connections among land, topography, and water in the shaping of human society. This is a fine work and highly recommended to all with any interest in environmental history."--Journal of American History
"This is ecological history with verve. . . . A human geography of a complex region."--Agricultural History
