In addition to being an environmental history So Far and yet So Close is an engrossing social history. - Ian MacLauchlan, Histoire social/Social History, In addition to being an environmental history, So Far and yet So Close: is also an engrossing social history . . . makes an important statement about how the rough-and-tumble crew culture of the frontier was tempered by a growing institutional framework for family-based farms, even though the frontier ranch culture persists in distinctive regional customs and social traditions. --Ian MacLachlan, Historie social/Social History, Elofson goes beyond discussions of the environment to produce a social history of these regions, including his description of the rough and raucous "crew culture" that was created on the frontier by the gender imbalance of having two single young men to every woman. Compelling, too, are his accounts of the unique women who lived on the frontier -- those who worked, hunted, fished, and ran ranches as part of pioneer households. -- Karine Duhamel, Canada's History

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
