Strother E. Roberts delves into the intricate relationship between the environment and economy in early New England, illustrating how colonial practices shaped both the land and society. The book explores the transformative impact of European settlement on local ecosystems, revealing the complex interactions between settlers and Indigenous peoples, as well as the resources they utilized.
Roberts meticulously examines various economic activities, such as agriculture, fishing, and timber harvesting, to show how these endeavors not only fueled colonial growth but also led to significant ecological changes. The narrative highlights how the early American economy was deeply entwined with the natural world, as settlers adapted their practices to the challenges and opportunities presented by the landscape.
Through a combination of historical analysis and ecological insights, the work emphasizes the necessity of understanding environmental history to comprehend the foundations of modern America. It invites readers to reflect on the ongoing legacy of colonial actions and their lasting effects on both nature and culture.
