As a total aside, my favorite chapter title, "Where is Here," is the lead chapter in the book; I thought it was the story of my life. The chapter sets the scene and gives some overview of the book.
Prairie is supplemented extensively by maps, bibliography and quite striking, lovely photographs by (mostly) James R. Page. A book to enjoy and refer to many times.
