Reviews

Krall has skillfully blended passion and analysis, and she writes well. Proving Up is a welcome contribution to what I hope will become the 'New History of Homesteading.' - Richard Edwards, Great Plains Quarterly The book does provide a much richer framework for understanding the twists and turns in federal policy ... and its fundamental premise-the dialectic between agrarianism and economic development-will be invaluable to anyone bold enough to attempt a more complete updating of the works of Robbins, Rohrbough, and Gates. - Journal of American History ...Krall's overview and explanation of complex developments is enlightening ... Proving Up challenges readers with a broad, interdisciplinary interpretation of economic, cultural, and environmental policies, and is a unique integration of some familiar subjects. - H-Net Reviews (H-Environment)
