Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “But the machine made possible, as it made common, an exploitative relationship with the earth-a bond predominantly commercial-so that the land became a little more than a form of capital that must be made to pay as much as possible.” Donald Worster, Under Western Skies: Nature and History in the American West, 1992
