In four decades of intensely creative work, Richard White helped recast Western, American Indian, environmental, and imperial history, particularly in two transformative 1991 works, The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650–1815 and “It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own”: A New History of the American West. This union of an iconoclastic historian and an icon-making series has produced a surprising, ultimately fulfilling match of author and age.
