Environmental History by Donald Worster

We can all agree that today's envronment is not what it used to be.  But even hundreds of years ago in the past, the environment was better thanwhat it is like during the present time, but it was still not great.  For example, during wars, like the Revolutionary War, soldiers would use the trees as shelter and protection from the enemy. In battle, the environment would also be taking damage. The wildlife would continue to decrease throughout the years.  This example is just one of many, many others in the world.
