"Common Fields may inspire a new genre in the field of
environmental history that focuses attention on individual cities.
In fact, other volumes are now being crafted with the organization
of Common Fields as a model." --Martin V. Melosi in Journal of
American History, March 1998
"The Missouri Historical Society Press can take considerable pride
in having published Common Fields. This is a book that should add
much to the conversation among St. Louis area residents about the
past and present condition of their environment. At the same time,
it should enjoy a much wider readership as well." --Phillip V.
Scarpino in Public Historian, spring 1998
