Excerpt from The Mississippi Valley: Its Physical Geography, Including Sketches of the Topography, Botany, Climate, Geology, and Mineral, Resources; And of the Progress of Development, in Population and Material Wealth Having devoted many years to explorations in different parts of the Mississippi Valley, and to the study of its soil, climate, and resources - mineral and agricultural, - and having been a witness, in part, of the gigantic strides which have been made during the lifetime of a generation, in those arts which contribute so essentially to the comforts and conveniences of man; - I propose to describe, in a comprehensive form, the Physical Geography of this wonderful region, and particularly of that portion which lies west of the great dividing line - the Mississippi River. Already this valley contains a majority of the people of the United States; and the developments which are now going on to bring it into close commercial relations with the mining regions of the Ultra-montane and Pacific States, and with the markets of the Orient, will add vastly to its resources, and to its commanding position as a part of the Great Republic.
