Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Complete Descriptive and Statistical Gazetteer of the United States of America: Containing a Particular Description of the States, Territories, Counties, Districts, Parishes, Cities, Towns and Villages, Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, Canals, and Railroads
The present is eminently a proper time in which to prepare a gazetteer or the united states. The progress of the country in population, in agriculture, in com merce, in manufactures, and in education, has recently been ascertained with great labor and expense by the census, and it is important that this, and other continually accumulating information, should be widely diffused. All former gazetteers are rendered obsolete by the census, which has but recently become available, and by the rapid changes which the country is undergoing, particularly in its newer por tions.
