  Summarizing the geological, archaeological, and ecological features that shaped Iowa's modern landscape, this book recreates the once-wild native communities that existed prior to Euroamerican settlement. It examines the dramatic changes that overtook native plant and animal communities as Iowa's prairies, woodlands, and wetlands were transformed.
