Book Overview

The Call of the Waters: A Study of the Frontier is a book written by Katharine R. Crowell and published in 1908. The book is a study of the American frontier and the role of water in shaping its development. Crowell examines the history of waterways in the United States, from the rivers and lakes that facilitated trade and transportation to the irrigation systems that enabled agriculture in arid regions. The book explores the relationship between water and human settlement, and how water resources have influenced the growth and expansion of American cities and towns. Crowell also discusses the impact of water on the natural environment, including the effects of damming and other human interventions on river ecosystems. The Call of the Waters is a comprehensive study of the role of water in American history and culture, and provides insight into the ways in which the frontier has been shaped by this vital resource.
