Introduction: Making Places, Shaping Cities—Narrating Spatial History in Three American Cities
Powerful computing technologies and theoretical advances have empowered historians to follow the spatial turn in their work. Yet despite new technological and conceptual innovations, narrating spatial histories remains an ongoing challenge. The authors of three essays in this section apply spatial analysis in their narratives of politics, culture, and environmental change within three iconic U.S. cities—New York City, San Francisco, and Pittsburg…

Coyote Valley: Deep History in the High Rockies
Historians have rediscovered space and scale in their stories. Some advocate for big histories spanning centuries. Others call for local microhistories. In this smart and ambitious book, Thomas G. Andrews tries to reconcile large and small by focusing on the Kawuneeche Valley of Colorado (Coyote Valley, as translated from Arapaho), a part of Rocky Mountain National Park. Coyote Valley started as a contract report for the National Park Service but…

Beyond the Missouri: The Story of the American West. By Richard W. Etulain. Hunger for the Wild: America's Obsession with the Untamed West. By Michael L. Johnson
Almost two decades ago, academe rang with gunplay as the so-called new western historians rode onto campus, attracting the attention of curious townsfolk and the ire of the antiquated Turner Gang. Once the shooting stopped, more moderate scholars counted the bodies, cleaned up the mess, and went back to work. Or so some would have you believe. Historiography, as history itself, is always more complex than its participants realize, and these two b…
Changing Spaces: Nature, Property, and Power in Seattle, 1880-1945
Environmental historians have tended, until recently, to overlook how inequality is generated and reinforced in the metropolitan landscape. One way to historicize urban environmental justice is to analyze the transformation of property through space and time. This article explores how engineers and reformers in early twentieth-century Seattle launched several earthmoving projects, called regrades, to renovate the downtown core. The regrades remov…

Spaces of Consumption in Environmental History
Consumption has emerged as an important historical subject, with most scholars explaining it as a vehicle for therapeutic regeneration, community formation, or economic policy. This work all but ignores how consumption begins with changes to the material world, to physical nature. While environmental historians have something important, even unique, to say about consumption, the split between materialist and cultural analyses within the field has…
