Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Historical and Geographical Miscellany of the United States
Fou many years I have taken pleasure in collecting fragments of information relating to the various peculiar features of United States History and Geography. Many of these facts, I believe, have never been in print.
That the publication of these facts may be of special service and significance to the student and general reader, I have incorporated, by permission, considerable matter from other published works. In all such instances, I have drawn from absolutely reliable sources.
It has been found practically impossible, within the scale of pages herein contained, to go into the details of every topic treated; and for this reason the reader is cited to authorities, Where he may find much of special interest for future reading.
