Noble, Allen G., ed.  To Build in a New Land: Ethnic Landscapes in North America. Creating the North American Landscape. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992.
 

A compilation of essays by twenty different authors, this book explores the cultural landscapes of various ethnic communities throughout the United States.  The peoples range from the Ohio Welsh to the French Creoles of Louisiana. Through the study of structures and artifacts, these cultural-historical geographers have drawn out the life patterns and defined the meaning of community for these often overlooked ethnic groups.  The focus is necessarily upon the landscape since many such communities have left little in the way of traditional documentary resources for study.
