The Foundations of Glen Canyon Dam: Infrastructures of Dispossession on the Colorado Plateau
in histories of the american west, the construction of Glen Canyon Dam is framed as a tradeoff between environmentalists and the federal government.

Conservationi…

He argues that the exposition enabled meat-packers and land-grant university professors to broadcast their industrial agendas to producers and agricultural colleges.The organizers of th…
Sugar State: Industry, Science, and the Nation in Colorado's Sugar Beet Fields
During the first half of the twentieth century, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists played a significant role in the development of the beet sugar industry in Colorado and throughout the West.

To achieve relevance, they responded to requests from Colorado beet…

A qualitative study was conducted based on interviews with 30 Army leaders w…
