It deserves a place on the bookshelves of scholars who study settler placemaking, the North American grasslands, the northern borderlands, and the ways the interaction of culture and environment fosters senses of place and regional identity creation.\"—Anthony Carlson, H-Environment\u003cbr\u003e\"Rozum highlights a great internal conflict of many grasslands settlers: pride in the environment and a great sense of connection to it, but shame at its lack of \"real\" culture and disdain (even self-directed loathing) for those who stayed. It is for this reason that anyone interested in the cultural environmental history of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies should read \u003ci\u003eGrasslands Grown\u003c\/i\u003e.\"—Laura Larsen, \u003ci\u003eNiCHE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A subtle, sensitive, and sophisticated transnational history of settler place-making that transforms our understanding of the Great Plains. \u003ci\u003eGrasslands Grown\u003c\/i\u003e’s exceptional exploration of environment and experience will interest readers everywhere.

I can’t think of a book I have read in the last ten years that weaves in so many voices across such disparate, tangible, variegated experiences.
