Reprint, with new introd. Originally published: Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1946. This description may be from another edition of this product.
history of the U.S. Midwest in the 1940's. It's extremes, its paradoxes, its tensions, and its relentless growth. Here, in less than five generations, men have wrought a civilization from the wilderness with a rapidity such as history had never witnessed. Hutton tells of the first settlers...violent, quarrelsome, individualistic...who came to the Midwest to brave a climate which only central Russia can match, and whose descendants today enjoy the highest average living standard in the world.
