Hi, I'm Jason A. Heppler, a historian writing about the twentieth century North American West, Great Plains, and Canadian Prairies. I'm the senior developer/scholar at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and an Affiliate Fellow at the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Nearly a third of the American West is federal land. Those lands have been a century-long provocation. Governing Ground is a digital history of the Sagebrush Rebellions, recurring movements between the 1930s to the present over the transfer, ownership, management, and control of federal lands.
