The variety of approaches and diversity of sources suggest that there is no reluctance, at least among these academics, to be bold in their exploration of the "new" prairie perspective. This series of writing spanning the 1890 to 1930 period dealing with such diverse topics as the settlement process, frontier marriage, institutions created to make rural life more healthy and satisfying, farm labour and mechanization, adaptation of past farming experiences to prairie realities, and relations between providers of capital and farmers.
