Charles F. Wilkinson

A bibliography that serves as a useful starting point for research about the American West.

Wilkinson examines the history of the Colorado Plateau, the violent conflicts between indigenous populations and more recent settlers, the political machinations of industry, the treachery of the legal establishment and the contentious disputes over land.

Wilkinson addresses the controversies over water rights, mining rights, Native American land claims, and public land use, and shows how existing influential environmental policy laws retain the vested interests in the past.
