Rivers of Empire: Water, Aridity, and the Growth of the American West by Donald Worster
5.0
Excellent complement to "Cadillac Desert," with the vantage of writing after the effects of climate change were becoming clearer.
The title itself should tell you part of what you're in for. It was an empire of manifest destiny, believing that the American world could override problems, from ignoring John Wesley Powell on.
