Savage dreams : a journey into the hidden wars of the American west / Rebecca Solnit.

Solnit, Rebecca, (author.).

Summary:

"In 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants that has yet to come to a real conclusion. A century later - 1951 - and about a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a "nuclear testing program" but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin."-- Provided by publisher.
