US History [1]
The natural environment was the key ingredient to shaping the development of the west, and without it there would be no jobs, there would be no production of food, and it is the thing that many people cherish with their lives.
Without the natural environment there would be no form of work. Without work you would have no money for food or clothing or things that humans need daily. Doc. D illustrates people working off the land to survive. Doc. G gives us a picture of Colorado being compared in 1870 and 1882. The comparison shows that without the land there would be no housing, no food, no jobs, or anything.
