The first installment, To Reclaim a Divided West: Water, Law, and Public Policy, 1848–1902, appeared in 1992.1 Water and American Government: The Reclamation Bureau, National Water Policy, and the West, 1902–1935 surveys water policy from the adoption of the federal irrigation program in 1902 to the completion of Boulder Dam in 1935. Should fate permit, a third volume will carry the story forward from the beginning of the New Deal into the 1980s. The thesis of this book is simple. Historians have portrayed federal reclamation as a sharp break with the past—as a symbol of modernization, or at the least a symptom of the expansion and centralization of national power over natural resources.2 But it makes more sense to see the Reclamation Act of 1902 and the events that followed as evidence of the persistence of “frontier America” and traditional nineteenth-century values, rather than as the emergence of “modern America.” The Reclamation Act of 1902 had a far closer relationship to the laissez-faire natural resource policies of the nineteenth century than to the ethic of a rationalized, planned economy. It was consistent with the nineteenth-century vision of an America built on the striving of autonomous individuals—the agricultural model of 1800 or 1850. Most historians have studied irrigation apart from other elements in federal water policy. Although this book is not a comprehensive history of federal water policies, I attempt to show how irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power intersected; Congress preferred to treat different uses of water discretely, but they were closely related. A second goal is to demonstrate that water policy often obliterated boundaries between East and West, federal and state, or even “public” and “private.” The American system of government encouraged balance and accommodation, not just competition; the efforts of federal, state, and local governments complemented as well as","PeriodicalId":82202,"journal":{"name":"Nova Scotia historical review","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90427801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
