Miller's essay is more about geography than literature, incorporating Dakota into the historical narrative spelled out in Earning the Rockies: How Geography Shapes America's Role in the World (2017) by Robert Kaplan, and nearly as challenging to any non-conservative reader. (The book is deliciously typeset, unlike Kaplan's.)
Miller puts a lot of effort into bolstering LIW's literary cred, comparing her favorably with Willa Cather, and her artistic cred, comparing her favorably with Harvey Dunn.
These are rather superficial comparisons, like comparing firewood with buffalo chips. However the chips may fall, the agrarian and pastoral myths continue to enflame the exuberance of libertarian folks who retain their homesteads in Dakota.
