This week we discuss the book "Changes in the Land" by William Cronon. This book is a fairly heterodox telling of the history of the effects of human behavior, both Indian and Settler, on the ecology of the region of New England in the early Colonial period. We discuss the different ways the two groups behaved in relation to nature and how these changed over time. We take it to a place you would not expect, focusing in on the effects of finance and the system of proto-capitalism that was implemented as a matter of course during the development of the New England Colonies. get Patrick's stuff at www.cantgetfooledagain.com Don't forget to join our Telegram channel at T.me/historyhomos and to join our group chat at T.me/historyhomoschat For programming updates and news follow us across social media @historyhomospod and follow Scott @Scottlizardabrams and Patrick @cantgetfooledagainradio OR subscribe to our telegram channel t.me/historyhomos The video version of the show is available on Substack, Rokfin, bitchute, odysee and Rumble For weekly premium episodes or to contribute to the show subscribe to our channel at www.historyhomospod.substack.com You can donate to the show directly at paypal.me/historyhomos To order a History Homos T shirt (and recieve a free sticker) please send your shirt size and address to
