The Opening, the Use, and the Future of Our Domain on This Continent: An Address Delivered Before the New York Historical Society on Its Eighty-Second ... Tuesday, November 16, 1886 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines the complex development of the United States as a nation through the exploitation of its natural resources. Spanning four centuries, this text traces how, between the 15th and 19th centuries, the European discovery of, and conquest over, the 'New World' set in motion the process by which the United States came to own and utilize the lands and resources of its vast territory. The author argues that although the full extent of these resources was initially unknown, and their acquisition often brutal and destructive, these lands became the material foundation upon which the nation was built. Ultimately, the book prompts us to reflect on the future of the US as it grapples with the consequences of its past exploitation of its natural environment.
