"Wacker and Clemens assemble a wealth of informnation that traces spatial and temporal patterns of agriculture in this very diverse state. Diaries, probate and tax records, store ledgers, and other sources detail cultural and economic factors that interacted with the natural landscape to produce complex patterns of land use.
