Abstract
The Great Plains, the vast interior of the North American continent, is completely landlocked. Its rivers, deep or braided, drain into the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, or Hudson Bay; yet isolated as the land be, it has been globally connected at least since the first European contacts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The three papers in this issue of Great Plains Quarterly look at a few of the international connections of this region.
