Field Life: Science in the American West during the Railroad Era - Intersections: Histories of Environment
Jeremy Vetter
Examines the practice of science in the field in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains of the American West between the 1860s and the 1910s, when the railroad was the dominant form of long-distance transportation. Grounded in approaches from environmental history and the history of technology, it emphasizes the material basis of scientific fieldwork.
