Karl Jacoby traces the effects that the criminalization of such traditional rural practices as hunting, fishing, and foraging had on country people in these areas. Despite the presence of new environmental regulations, poaching arson, and timber stealing became widespread among the Native Americans, poor whites, and others who had long relied on the natural resources now contained within conservation areas. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these "crimes," providing a rich and multifaceted portrayal of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." "Crimes against Nature includes previously unpublished historical photographs depicting such subjects as poachers in Yellowstone and a Native American "squatters' camp" at the Grand Canyon. This study demonstrates the importance of considering class for understanding environmental history and opens a new perspective on the social history of rural and poor people a century age."--Jacket of 2001 edition. 505 0 $a Forest: the Adirondacks -- Mountain: Yellowstone -- Desert: the Grand Canyon. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $z United States $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010103170 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020739.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D94680CEE55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
