| Preserving Western History is a collection of thirty-five essays by scholars and professionals addressing public history as it is practiced in the western United States. The goal of the volume's editor, Andrew Gulliford, was to bring together the fields of western history and public history. The authors approach the topic from diverse methodological vantage points, including environmental history, historical archaeology, museum studies, Hispanic and Native American cultural history, women's history, and historic preservation. Public history practitioners, often working on landscapes of historical interest, approach environmental topics as a matter of course, and environmental historians have much to learn from public history. |
