Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from North America Students who intend taking Geography as a subject for Matriculation, Preliminary Certificate, Teacher's Certificate or Civil Service Examinations, will already be acquainted with the leading facts of the subject. The aim of this book is to associate those facts in a way that not only makes them interesting, but affords at least some explanation of the facts - to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. More stress than is usual in text-books of Geography is laid upon physical causes which lead to agricultural and industrial developments. Historical Geography is only incidentally treated because the writer considers it best to associate historic places with historical incidents in the courses of history taken by the student. A glossary of common geological terms will be found at the end of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This classic text retains the superb scholarship of the first edition in a thoroughly revised and accessibly written new edition. With both new and updated essays by distinguished American and Canadian authors, the book provides a comprehensive historical overview of the formation and growth of North American regions from European exploration and colonization to the second half of the twentieth century. Collectively the contributors explore the key themes of acquisition of geographical knowledge, cultural transfer and acculturation, frontier expansion, spatial organization of society, resource exploitation, regional and national integration, and landscape change. With six new chapters, redrawn maps, a new introduction that explores scholarly trends in historical geography since publication of the first edition, and a new final chapter guiding students to the basic sources for historical geographic enquiry, North America will be an indispensable text in historical geography courses.

Excerpt from British North America: 1763-1867 Their bodies are spread throughout the world; their bones are scattered in the five continents and at the bottom of the seven seas. Some there were that returned to the mother land, that now lie resting in hallowed ground, by village spire or in cathedral cloister; others are at peace in far-off lands, where the soil which God created has known no other tread.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Statistical, Political, and Historical Account of the United States of North America, Vol. 1: From the Period of Their First Colonization to the Present Day The Alleghany chain is more remarkable for its length and breadth than its height. Perhaps there is no tract of country in the world, that preserves the mountain character over so great a space, with so small an elevation. The mean height of the Alleg hanies Proper, is only from 2000 to 8000 feet, about one-half of which consists of the elevation of the mountains above their base and the other half, of the elevation of the adjoining country above the sea. To this height, the country rises by an irregular but al most imperceptible acclivity, from the ocean, at the distance of qoo or 800 miles on the one side, and from the channel of the Mississippi, at an equal distance, and by a still more gentle acclivity, on the other. A gra dual elevation of i 1000 or iqoo feet, upon a horizon tal surface of qoq or 800 miles, would give the sur face of the country, on the eastern side, an average rise of from three to four feet in the mile, and from two to three feet on the Western side, making allow ance for; the height of the channel of the Mississippi. This small degree of inclination accounts for the great extent of inland navigation which the United States enjoy. Besides, the beds of the rivers are generally lower than the country near-their banks, and their winding course also lessens the rapidity of their 'deu scent.
