Bob Morris who has the great Politics in the Zeros blog (but no permalinks!) reviews two great books: Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, and Rivers of Empire: Water, Aridity, and the Growth of the American West.
I’ve read Cadillac Desert, and recommend it incredibly highly to anyone who wants to understand the history of the West.
