An eye-opening new narrative exploring how the American drive for empire was bound up with a quest to control and preserve nature. . . . Through innovative and affective writing, Kohout takes us vividly into the field-where the building and breaking of both empire and nature took place. In her hands, taxidermied birds collected by soldiers for American museums of natural history take flight again, allowing us to see the vast expanses of American empire with new insight and better appreciate its manifold impacts. -Douglas Cazaux Sackman, author of Wild Men: Ishi and Kroeber in the Wilderness of Modern America
