Changes in the Land Indians Colonists & by William Cronon
Changes in the Land Indians Colonists &

adonde, January 12, 2007

Changes in the Land offers a unique view on early American history during the time when the first settlers were arriving. Although it reads more like a textbook, it contains an enormous amount of facts based mainly on cultural conflict that occurred between the settlers and natives and "virgin" land.

I would recommend this book as more of a resource reference because of its strange organization and text book manner. If you are in need of information regarding early settlers and their adaptation to their environment this book is for you.
