The Look of the Land
Landscape Meteorology in the Plains Area∗
This paper introduces the term “landscape meteorology” to cover a variety of beliefs associating significant atmospheric processes and results with culturally induced features of the landscape. These beliefs, which became prominent during the period of discovery, played an important role in early America and during the settlement period of the Plains. In the forested East, weather and climate modification centered largely on deforestation and ref…
A Modern Geography of the United States
The Woodsman's Assaults on the Domain of the Cattleman
In retrospect it appears that the extensive grasslands of the American West stood as an open invitation to the pioneers to establish a grazing or range economy. However, the woodsman settlers coming from the East never conceived, projected, or defined a suitable range economy, and so it was through the “side door” or “back door” of Texas that an appropriated system of grazing burst northward across the Plains following the Civil War. The system, …

Grazing Operations in the Flint Hills–bluestem Pastures of Chase County, Kansas 1
Chase County, Kansas, lies about midway in the north-south trending Flint Hills-Bluestem Pastures of Kansas-Oklahoma in which grazing is prominent on native prairie grasses. Grazing of transient cattle (cattle in transit) developed here shortly after the early cattle trail days has persisted to this day and has given the area uniqueness in our grazing economy. Crop farmers predominate but ranch type operators control most of the good grassland. M…

The Agricultural Stability of the Old Order Amish and Old Order Mennonites of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
The stability of the Pennsylvania German farmers has frequently been noted. The various socioreligious groups comprising this large ethnic body, however, are characterized by unlike degrees of stability. In general, the sectarians have been more stable as farmers than the church people. The Old Order Amish and Old Order Mennonites of Lancaster County epitomize this stability. Their unusual persistence as farmers can definitely be traced to a soci…
