VALENTINE PREFACE. m - THE great region of the North and West comprehended in fii the States of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, J and the Territories of Wisconsin and Iowa, is daily becoming j more and more important and interesting. Its vast resources fi are in a state of rapid development ; industry and enterprize, ^ aided by enlightened legislation, are calling forth its energies, > and the prophetic declaration that " westward the star of em- j pire takes its way," is advancing to its fulfilment. A few ? years since, this region, then denominated the " far west," was | regarded as the outskirts of civilization, it is now (the greatest /> proportion of it) the residence of an active, enterprizing and 3 intelligent population. Cities have sprung up as if by magic ; ~ agriculture, manufactures and commerce flourish; literature, Z science and the arts are extending their healthful and invigora- ^ ting influence throughout the country. Blessed with a soil un- : surpassed in fertility and a salubrious climate, and possessing, I by means of its great rivers and lakes, advantages for trade and commerce, it must, ere the lapse of many years, enjoy all ** the advantages that can render a country prosperous and a people happy. To give a brief and correct description of this interesting portion of the Union, has been the author's chief aim ; but it is believed to be sufficiently copious and explicit, for all the purposes of general reference.

THE country delineated by this work is occupied by the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri ; and the Wisconsin and Iowa Territories, known as the north-western States and Territories, which are embraced in the upper sections of the two great Valleys of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi. The St. Lawrence Valley or Basin, contains the five great western lakes, and bounds the greater part of the northern frontier of the United States. Be- ginning at the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it extends nearly to the sources of the Mississippi, a distance of about 1800 miles ; and is computed to contain 511,930 square miles of surface ; 72,930 of which are covered with water. It may be divided into three great, but unequal parts ; the upper, middle and lower. The first, in form of a rhomb, has an area of about 90,000 square miles, one-third of which is occupied by Lake Superior, its length is about 500 miles, with a mean breadth of 80, mean depth 900 feet, elevated 624 feet above the Ocean level. Into this reservoir are poured upwards of 50 rivers, none of which are of much importance. Though indivi- dually small, the quantity of water supplied collec- tively by the numerous tributaries of Lake Superior, 8 VALLEY OF THE ST. LAWRENCE. must be very great. The whole mass, composing a large river, is forced through the Straits of St. Mary, a distance of 60 miles, into Lake Huron. Sault St. Marie, a fall of 22 ft. 10 in. in half a mile, is the largest of three rapids which obstruct navigation. The middle division forms a quadrangle of about 160,000 square miles, having the three great central lakes, Michigan, Huron and Erie in its lowest de- pressions. Lake Michigan is a great chasm of 800 feet in depth below its surface, about 300 miles long by 65 mean width, and elevated 579 feet above tide level. The streams which fall into it are generally small, but very numerous. Lake Michigan commu- nicates with Lake Huron by the Straits of Mackinac. Lake Huron is an expanded triangular body of wa- ter, and is divided into two unequal parts by the Ma- nitoulin islands, and a peninsular projecting from its south-east side. Between the north-eastern shore and the Manitoulin group, extends a strait of 200 miles in length, with a mean width of about 30 miles. The mean breadth of the lake is 95 miles, and occu- pies an area of 19,000 square miles, receiving the vast discharge of Lake Superior and Michigan in its north-western angle, Lake Nipissing on its north- eastern, and several minor streams. These accu- mulated waters are discharged from its southern ex- tremity by the Strait of St. Glair, a distance of 35 miles, with a rapid current, into Lake St. Clair. Lake St. Clair is a small, shallow, circular expansion of about 20 miles in diameter. It empties into Lake Erie by the Detroit Strait. Lake Erie forms the most southern part of the middle basin of the St. Lawrence. It is elevated 560 feet above tide level, and lies 19 ft. 3 in. below the level of Lake Huron. VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI. 9 Its form is elliptical, but much elongated, 280 miles in length, and but little exceeding 50 miles in breadth at its widest parts, average depth 200 feet. This congregated mass of waters from the upper lakes, and the many tributaries of Erie, in their course through the Niagara Strait or River, are precipitated down the Great Falls of Niagara, into the lower ba- sin of the St. Lawrence ; when, after a distance of 14 miles from the falls, they are again expanded and form Lake Ontario, whose mean length is 180 miles, width 30. The St. Lawrence River after a course of 692 miles connects it with the Atlantic, and is the second river in magnitude in America; it is 100 miles wide at its mouth, and navigable for ships of the largest class 400 miles from the ocean. THE VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI. WE have already seen that no considerable rivers run into the lakes of the St. Lawrence ; and this may prepare us for the fact, which is obvious on inspect- ing the map, that many of the streams which empty into the Mississippi rise very near to the lakes. Take for example the Ohio, which rises within five miles of Lake Erie, and there are many similar ca- ses. It is a remarkable fact, that no mountains or grounds of considerable elevation, divide the tributa- ries of the lakes from those of the Mississippi Valley. On the contrary, the waters of Lake Michigan are so nearly on a level with the Des Plaines, (a continu- ation of the Illinois,) which flows into the Mississippi, that in seasons of great flood their waters not only mingle, but boats have been known to pass from the one into the other. The Valley of the Mississippi 10 VALLEY OP THE OHIO. embraces all that part of the United States lying be- tween the Alleghany or Appalachian Mountains, and the Chippewayan or Rocky Mountains ; the waters of which are discharged through the mouths of the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico. This great central valley may be divided into four parts. First, the portion between the lakes and the Alleghany Mountains ; this is traversed by the Ohio, and its numerous confluents. Second, the portion between the lakes and the Missouri, this is traversed by the Mississippi proper. Third, the portion occu- pied by the Missouri itself, including the course of the River Platte. Fourth, the Valley of the Lower Mis- sissippi, with the Arkansas and Red Rivers. THE VALLEY OF THE OHIO. THE Ohio Valley is subdivided by the river into two unequal sections, leaving on the right or north- west side 80,000, and on the left or south-east side, 116,000 square miles. The Ohio river flows in a deep ravine, which forms a common recipient for the waters drained from both slopes. The length of the ravine, in a direct line from Pittsburg to the Missis- sippi, is 540 miles, but by following the serpentine course of the Ohio, is a distance of 948 miles. *" The hills are generally found near the rivers or larger creeks, and parallel to them on each side, having between them the alluvial valley through which the stream meanders, usually near the middle, but sometimes washing the foot of either hill. Per- haps the best idea of the topography of this region * Bourne. VALLEY OF THE OHIO. 11 may be obtained, by conceiving it to be one vast ele- vated plain, near the center of which the streams rise, and in their course wearing down a bed or val- ley, whose depth is in proportion to their size or the solidity of the earth over which they flow. So that our hills, with some few exceptions, are nothing more or less than cliffs or banks made by the action of the streams, and although these cliffs or banks on the rivers or large creeks approach the size of moun- tains, yet their tops are generally level like the re- mains of an ancient plain." The tributaries of the Ohio which flow from the Alleghany Mountains are, from their sources nearly to their mouths, mountain torrents, and have their courses generally in deep channels, and often through deep chasms with per- pendicular banks of limestone ; those flowing from the north-west, rise in the table-land forming the dividing ridge between the waters of the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi, with a slight current, but increase in their velocity until they unite with the Ohio. In its natural state, the valley of the Ohio was for the most part covered with a dense forest, but the central plain presents an exception. As far east as the sources of the Muskingum, commenced open savannahs, cov- ered with grass and devoid of timber. Like the plain itself, those savannahs expand to the westward and open into immense natural meadows, known un- der the denomination of prairies. The Ohio from Pittsburgh to the Mississippi, a course of nine hun. dred and forty-eight miles, falls only about 400 feet, or about 5 inches in a mile. This river, and its prin- cipal branch the Alleghany, are in a striking man- ner gentle as respects currents ; and from Olean, in the state of New-York, to the Mississippi, over a dis- 12 UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. tance of 1160 miles, following the streams, at a mod- erately high flood, it meets (excepting the rapids at Louisville) with not a single serious natural impedi- ment. The Monongahela more impetuous, is yet navigable far into Virginia. On the north-west side of the valley, the rivers are extremely rapid. Rising on a table-land from 300 to 100 feet above their mouths, and in no instance having a direct course of 300 miles, the streams, though falling gradually, are almost torrents. The Big Beaver, Muskingum and Hockhocking, have direct falls ; but the Sciota, Mi- ami and Wabash, though rapid, have no falls that se- riously impede navigation. THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE Mississippi rises in Lat. 47 10', N., Lon. 95 54', W., surrounded by an immense marshy plain, in- dented with small lakes abounding with fish and wild rice, and elevated 1500 feet above the Gulf of Mexi- co It is a circumstance peculiar to this river, that the physiognomy of nature around its head bears so strong resemblance to that of its estuary. A dif- ference of 19 degrees of latitude precludes much similarity in vegetable or stationary animal produc- tion. But, says Mr. Schoolcraft, who visited the sources in the month of July, " the migratory water fowl found there at that time of the year, are very nearly the same which flock in countless millions over the Delta in December, January, February and March. It is also deserving of remark, that its sources lie in a region of almost continual winter, while it enters the Ocean under the latitude of per- petual verdure." On a view of the particular valley TIPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. 13 of the Mississippi, its general sameness first strikes the eye. No chains or groups of mountains rise to vary the scene. Over so wide a space as 180,000 square miles, some solitary elevations exist, which, for want of contrast, are dignified by the name of mountains ; but few continuous tracts of equal ex- tent, affords so little diversity of surface. The upper part of the Mississippi is traversed by numerous falls and rapids of inconsiderable descent, until, after a meandering course of 420 miles, it pre- cipitates its waters down the Falls of St. Anthony, 16^ feet perpendicular ; and 9 miles below, receives its largest confluent, the St. Peters, which rises among the sacred red-pipestone quarries of the Indians. The Mississippi from the St. Peters to some distance below Galena, flows in small streams, (with the ex- ception of Lake Pepin, an expansion of 20 miles in length and 5 in width,) curling among a multitude of islands, which in the summer season are clothed with grass, flowers and forest trees ; and so thickly cov- ered, that it is said, there are but three places be- tween Prairie du Chien and St. Peters river, a dis- tance of 220 miles, where you can see across the river. The bluffs which bound the river are delight- ful to the eye, running frequently in high and continu- ous ridges, then divided by valleys and streams en- tering the river ; and are covered to the summit with the same splendid verdure as the islands. The Mississippi after a distance of 990 miles from its source, arid receiving in its course from the east, the Chippewa, Wisconsin, Rock and Illinois rivers, and many smaller streams ; and from the west, the St. Peters, Up. Iowa, Turkey, Makoqueta, Wapsi- pinecon, Iowa, Des Moine and Salt rivers, and many 2 14 VALLEY OF THE MISSOURI. others of less note, unite and mingle its bright waters with the dark Missouri. THE VALLEY OF THE MISSOURI. THE Missouri rises in the Chippewayan or Rocky Mountains. As viewed from the course of this river, the mountains rise abruptly out of the plains, which lie extended at their base, and tower in peaks of great height, which render them visible at an immense dis- tance. They consist of ridges, knobs and peaks, variously disposed, among which are interspersed many broad and fertile valleys. The more elevated parts are covered with perpetual snow, which give them at a distance, a most brilliant appearance. They are covered with a scattering growth of scrub- by pine, oak, cedar and furze. The Missouri rises far within the bosom of the mountains, and is divi- ded by a single ridge from the waters of the Colum- bia, which flows into the Pacific Ocean. In its early course, it flows through small but beautiful and fer- tile valleys, deeply embosomed amidst the surround- ing heights, and forms a variety of islands in its pro- gress, till at length it issues from these verdant re- cesses by a rocky pass, which has not unaptly been called the Gates of the Rocky Mountains. * For five and three quarter miles these rocks rise on both sides of the river, perpendicularly from the water's edge-, to the height of nearly 1,200 feet. The river (three hundred and fifty yards in width) seems to have forced its channel through this solid mass ; but so reluctantly has it given way, that, during the * Lewis and Clark. VALLEY OP THE MISSOURI. 16 whole distance, the water is very deep, even at the edges, and for the first three miles there is not a spot, except one of a few yards, in which a man could stand between the waters and the towering perpen- dicular of the mountains. The convulsion of the passage must have been terrible, since at its outlet there are vast columns of rock torn from the moun- tains, which are strewed on both sides of the river, the trophies, as it were, of the victory. This extra- ordinary range of rocks is called the " Gates of the Rocky mountains." At the junction of the Yellow- Stone and the Missouri, the river by either branch has flowed more than a thousand miles. A few miles below the influx of the Yellow-Stone, the Missouri has reached its utmost northern bend, in N. Lat. 48 20'; and curves, by a regular sweep of 200 miles, to the Mandan villages. The Platte and Kan- sas are two great confluents of the Missouri, rising in the same mountains, and flowing eastwardly, the former 700, and the latter 600 miles. The Platte derives its name from the circumstance of its being broad and shoal ; its average width being about 1,200 yards, exclusive of the islands it embosoms, with a rapid current, and is fordable almost every where. The character of the Kansas is nearly similar, being navigable only in high freshets, and then not exceed- ing 200 miles from its mouth. Grand and Chariton on the north, and Osage and Gasconade on the south, (navigable streams,) are tributaries of the Missouri. After a direct course of 1,870 miles, and a meander- ing one of 3,000, the Missouri unites with the Mis- sissippi. The valley of the Missouri occupies an area of 523,000 square miles. Three remarkable features exist in it first, the turbid character of its waters ; 16 VALLEY OF THE MISSOURI. second, the very unequal volumes of the right and left confluents ; and third, the immense excess of the open prairies over the river lines of the forest. In the direction of the western rivers, the inclined plane of the Missouri extends 800 miles from the Chippe- wayan mountains, and rather more than that distance from south to north, from the southern branches of the Kansas, to the extreme heads of the northern confluents of the valley. * " Ascending from the lower verge of this widely extended plain, wood be- comes more and more scarce, until one naked sur- face spreads on all sides. Even the ridges and chains of the mountains partake of these traits of desolation. The traveler in those parts, who has read the descriptions of central Asia by Tooke or Pallas, will feel, on the higher branches of the Mis- souri, a resemblance at once striking and appalling. He will regret how much of the earth's surface is doomed to irremediable silence, and if near the Chip- pewayan heights in winter, he will acknowledge, that the utmost intensity of frost in Siberia and Mongolia has its full counterpart in North America, on similar, if not on lower latitudes." " But of all the charac- teristics which distinguish the Missouri and its con- fluents, the few direct falls, or even rapids, is certainly the most remarkable. Between Dearborne's and Maria's rivers, the stream leaves the Chippewayan range by rolling over ledges of rocks for a distance of 18 miles, after which this overwhelming mass of water, though every where flowing with great rapid- ity, no where swells into a lake, or rolls over a single cataract, in a distance of at least 3,500 miles, to the Darby. VALLEY OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI. 17 Gulf of Mexico. If, therefore, the Amazon is ex- cepted, the Missouri and its continuation, the Mis- sissippi, afford the most extended, uninterrupted line of river navigation which has ever been discovered." VALLEY OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI. AFTER being joined by the Missouri, the Missis. sippi makes a direct course of 820, or following its meanderings, 1,265 miles, to the Gulf of Mexico. In no circumstance is the physical geography of the United States more remarkable than in the extreme inequality of the two opposing planes, down which are poured the confluents of the Mississippi,* below the influx of the Ohio. The western inclined plane, falling from the Rocky mountains, sweeps over up- wards of 800 miles ; while the eastern, sloping from the Appalachian, has not a mean width of 100 miles. The rivers which drain the two slopes are, in re- spective length, proportionate to the extent of their planes of descent. Although Red river exceeds a comparative course of 800 miles, the Arkansas of 1,000, and White river of 400, the longest stream from the opposite slope falls short of 200 miles. The alluvian brought down by such volumes of water as those of White, Arkansas, and Red rivers, explains satisfactorily the reason why the Mississippi infringes so often on the eastern, and no where below the Ohio touches the western bluffs. The lower valley of the Mississippi is the most variegated section of the United States. * " Every form of lapdscape, every trait of natural physiognomy, and an exhaust!es * Darby. 2* 38 INUNDATIONS OF THE MISSISSIPPI. quantity, with an illimitable specific diversity of ve- getable and metallic productions, are found upon this extensive region. It is flanked on the east by a dense forest, and on the west by the naked ridges and spires of the Chippewayan mountains ; while the deep entangled woods of the Mississippi stand in striking relief against the expansive prairies of the Arkansas and Red rivers." INUNDATIONS OF THE MISSISSIPPI. THE spring floods to which the Mississippi is subject, are remarkable for their long and steady continuance ; a circumstance highly favorable to jiland navigation. It is obvious, on a glance at the different regions from whence the waters are drawn, that the rivers must be high at different periods of the year. It is evident, also, that in the breaking up of whiter, the water in the same valley is drawn from its sources gradually ; when, as in the case of the Mississippi, the river flows from the poles towards the equator. Similar remarks apply to the Ohio and the Arkansas ; so that the duration of the flood sea- son is thus lengthened, while the quantity of water in a given time is moderated. Generally, the Red river flows out in February, or early in March. The great flood from the Arkansas, the Ohio, and the Upper Mississippi, commences early in March, and attains its full height in the middle of June. Abating from the latter period, it has nearly subsided by the first of August, when the retarded flow of the Mis- souri arrives to complete the annual inundation. FACE OF THE COUNTRY. 19 FACE OF THE COUNTRY. THE surface of the Mississippi Valley may be ar- ranged under three natural divisions the forest, or thickly timbered, the barrens, and prairie countiy. The timber most abundant in this territory are the oak, of various species, black and white walnut, ash of the several varieties, elm, sugar-maple, honey- locust, birch, buck-eye, hack-berry, linden, hickory, cotton-wood, white and yellow pine, peccan, mulber- ry, sycamore, box, sassafras, persimmon, with several others. The undergrowth consists principally of red bud, paw-paw, sumach, plum, crab-apple, dog-wood, hazel, spice-bush, grape vines, green brier, &c. The trees are very luxuriant in their growth, and are fre- quently found of a stupendous size. Barrens are a species of country of a mixed cha- racter, uniting forest and prairie. They are covered with scattered oaks, rough and stinted in their ap- pearance, interspersed with patches of hazel, brush- wood, and tough grass. The appearance of this description of country led the early settlers to sup- pose, that the scantiness of the timber was owing to the sterility of the soil, and hence, the title thus igno- rantly given, became of universal application to this extensive tract of country. It is ascertained, how- ever, that those " barrens" have as productive a soil as can be found in the western states healthy, more rolling than the prairies, and abounding with that im- portant requisite, good springs. The fire passes over these " barrens" in the fall, but owing to the insuffi- ciency of the fuel, is not able to destroy entirely the timber. The farmer may settle, without hesitation, 20 FACE OF THE COUNTRY. on any part of this land, where he can find timber enough for his present wants, for the soil is better adapted to all the purposes of farming and changes of the seasons, than the deeper and richer mould of the prairies. The next, and far most extensive surface, is the " openings," the rich level, or rolling prairies, inter- spersed with belts and points of timber, and the vast sterile prairies of the Far West. And first, the " oak openings," so termed from their distinctive feature of the varieties of oak which are scattered over them, interspersed at times with pine, black walnut, and other forest trees, which spring from a rich vegetable soil. The surface is ordinarily dry and rolling, with trees of a moderate growth. Among the " oak openings," are found some of the most lovely landscapes of the west ; and for miles and miles, a varied scenery of natural growth, with all the diversity of gently swelling hill and dale here, trees grouped or standing single ; and there, arranged in long avenues, as though planted with human hands, with slips of open mea- dow between. Sometimes the " openings" are dot- ted with numerous clear lakes, and form scenes of enchanting loveliness. They are fed by subterra- neous springs, or the rains ; and few having any ap- parent outlet, lose their surplus waters by evapora- tion. Michigan and Illinois abound with these oak openings. The rich "rolling prairie" forms the second division, which presents other features, and in a great degree another vegetation. These prairies abound with the thickest and most luxuriant belts of forest ; or, as they are termed, " timbers," scattered over the open face of the country, in bands or patch- FACE OF THE COUNTRY. 21 es of every possible form and size, generally follow- ing the meanders of the water courses, sometimes at short distances, at other times, miles and miles apart. They present wide and slightly undulating tracts of the rankest herbage and flowers, many ridges and hollows filled with purple thistles, and ponds filled with aquatic plants. In Missouri, they occupy the higher portions of the country ; the descent to the wooded " bottoms" being invariably over steep and stony declivities. The depth and richness of the soil on these lands are almost incredible, and the edges of the timbered strips are the favorite haunt of the emigrant settler and backwoodsman, in quest of game. Over these rolling "prairies" the fire commonly passes in the autumn, and to this cause is attributed their want of trees ; as, whenever a few years elapse without the fire touching a district, the thick sown seeds of the slumbering forest, with which the rich vegetable mould is laden, spring up from the green sod of the prairies. The surface is first cov- ered with brush-wood, composed of sumach, hazel, wild cherry, and oak ; and if the conflagrations be kept out, other forest trees follow. The third divi- sion is the vast boundless prairies of the "Far West," unbroken, save by the forest, rising on the alluvian of some water course below their level, or by the skirts of knotted and harsh oak-wood, of thick and stinted growth. The prairies occupy the high- est part of the table-land, toward the sources of the great rivers and their tributaries. They abound with abrupt and peculiarly shaped flinty hills, swelling up from the general level ; great salt plains, and occa- sionally with isolated rocks rising from the surface, with perpendicular sides, as though cut by the hand 22 CLIMATE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. of man, standing alone in the midst of these prairies a wonder to the Indian and the trapper. They are seldom perfectly level. As you advance, one im- mense sea of grass swells to the horizon after ano- ther, unbroken, for miles, by rock or tree. They are the home of the bison, and the hunting ground of the roving bands of the red men of the West. CLIMATE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. * " WE may conceive four distinct climates between the sources and the outlet of the Mississippi. The first commencing at its source and .terminating at Prairie du Chien, corresponds pretty accurately to the climate between Montreal and Boston, with this difference, that the amount of snow falling in the former is much less than in the latter region. The growing of gourd seed corn, which demands a high- er temperature to bring it to maturity, is not pursued in this region. The Irish potatoe is raised in this climate in the utmost perfection. Wheat and culti- vated grasses succeed well. The ap[)le and pear tree require fostering and southern exposure to bring fruit to perfection. The peach tree has still more the habits and the delicacy of a southern stranger, and requires a sheltered declivity with a southern exposure, to succeed at all. Five months in the year may be said to be under the dominion of winter. For that length of time, the cattle require shelter in the severe weather, and the still waters remain fro- zen. The second climate extends over the opposite States of Missouri and Illinois in their whole extent * Flint, CLIMATE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. 23 or the country between 43 and 37. Cattle, though though much benefitted by sheltering, and often need, ing it, here seldom receive it. It is not so favorable for cultivated grasses as the preceding region. Gourd seed corn is the only kind extensively planted. The winter commences with January and ends with the second week in February ; the ice in the still waters after that time thaws. Wheat, the inhabitant of a va- riety of climates, is at home as a native in this. The persimmon and the paw-paw are found in its whole extent. It is the favored region of the apple, the pear and the peach. Snow neither falls deep nor lies long. The Irish potatoe succeeds to a certain extent, but not as well as in the former climate ; but this disadvantage is supplied by the sweet potatoe, which, though not at home in this climate, with a little care in the cultivation, flourishes. The grandeur of the vegetation, and the temperature of March and April, indicates an approach towards the southern regions* " The third climate extends from 37 to 31. Below 35, in the rich alluvial soils, the apple trc'e begins to fail in bringing its fruit to perfec- tion ; apples worth eating are seldom raised much below New Madrid. Below 33, commences the proper climate for cotton, and here it is the staple article of cultivation. Festoons of long moss hang from the trees and darken the forest, and the pal- metto gives to the low alluvial grounds a grand and striking verdure. The muscadine grape, strongly designating the climate, is first found here. Laurel trees become common in the forest, retaining their foliage and their verdure through the winter. Wheat is no longer seen as an article of cultivation, but the fig-tree brings its fruit to full maturity. 24 CLIMATE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. " Below this limit to the gulf, is the fourth climate, the region of the sugar-cane and the orange-tree. It would be, if cultivated, the region of the olive. Snow is no longer seen to fall, except a few flakes in the coldest storms ; the streams are never frozen ; winter is only marked by nights of white frosts and days of north-west winds, which seldom last longer than three days in succession, and are followed by south winds and warm days. " In such a variety of climate and exposure, in a coun- try alternately covered in one point with the thickest forests, and in another spreading out into grassy plains, and with almost every shade of temperature, there must necessarily be generated all the forms and varieties of disease that spring simply from climate. Emigrants will always find it unsafe to select their residence near stagnate waters, and the rich and heavy timber- ed alluvians ; yet these from their fertility, and the ease in which they are brought into cultivation, are the points most frequently selected. The rich plains of the Sciota were the graves of the first settlers, but they have long since been brought into cultivation, and have lost their character for insalubrity. Hun- dreds of places in the west, which were selected as residences by the first emigrants on account of their fertility, and which were at first regarded as haunts of disease and mortality, have since become healthy* Wherever the * bottoms' are wide, the forest deep,, the surface level and sloping back from the river, and the vegetation rank wherever the rivers overflow, and leave stagnate waters that are only carried off by evaporation wherever there are in the ' bottoms,' ponds and lagoons to catch and retain the rains, and the overflow, it may be assumed as a general maxim CLIMATE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. 25 that such places are unhealthy. Emigrants have scarcely ever paused long enough, or taken sufficient care in selecting their residences as a place of salu- brity. A deep * bottom,' a fertile soil, the margin of some navigable stream, are apt to be the determining elements of their choice. The forest is levelled, hun- dreds of trees moulder and putrify about the cabin, the stagnate waters which, while shielded from the action of the sun by the forest, had remained com- paratively innoxious, exposed now to the burning rays of the sun, and rendered more deleterious by being filled with trunks and branches of decaying trees, and all kinds of putrid vegetation, become laborato- ries of miasma, and generate on every side the seeds of disease. When it is known, that such have been precisely the circumstances in which a great portion of the emigrants to the western country have fixed themselves, in open cabins that drink in the humid atmosphere of the night, through a hundred crevices, in a new and untried climate, under a higher tem- perature, a new diet and regimen, and perhaps, un- der the depressing influence of severe labor and ex- posure, need we wonder, that the country has ac- quired a character of unhealthiness. Yet, where the forest is cleared away, and the land has been for a sufficient time under cultivation, and is sufficiently remote from stagnate waters, generally may be con- sidered as healthy as any other country. It is a very trite, but a true and important remark, that in pro- portion as the country becomes opened, cultivated, and peopled in proportion as the redundance and rankness of natural vegetation is replaced by that of cultivation, the country becomes more healthy." Dr. Drake remarks " The diseases of this portion 3 26 CLIMATE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. of the great valley are few, and prevail chiefly in summer and autumn. They are the offspring of the combined action of intense heat and marsh exhala- tion. Those who migrate from a colder climate to the southern Mississippi states, should observe the following directions. 1st. To arrive there in autumn, instead of spring or summer. 2d. If practicable, to spend the hottest part of the first two or three years in a higher latitude. 3d. To select the healthiest situation. 4th. To live temperately. 5th. To pre- serve a regular habit. Lastly. To avoid the heat of the sun, from ten in the morning till four in the after- noon ; and above all the night air. By a strict at- tention to these rules, many would escape the diseases of the climate, who annually sink under its baneful influence." Mr. Peck observes " The same causes for disease exist in Ohio as in Missouri ; in Michigan as in Illi- nois ; in Kentucky and Tennessee as in Indiana. All those states are more infested with maladies which depend on variations of temperature, than the states farther south. All have localities where intermittents and agues are found, and all possess extensive districts of country where health is enjoyed, by a large pro- portion of emigrants. There is some difference be- tween a heavily timbered and a prairie countiy, in favor of the latter, other circumstances being equaL Changes, favorable to continued health, are produced by the settlements and cultivation of the country. In fine, I am prepared to give my opinion, decidedly* in favor of this country and climate. I would not certainly be answerable for all the bad locations, the imprudence and whims of all classes of emigrants, which may operate unfavorable to health." PUBLIC LANDS. 27 PUBLIC LANDS. ALL the lands owned by the United States are surveyed under one system. The General Land Of- fice is established at Washington city. Several of- fices, each under the direction of a surveyor general, have been established from time to time. The office for the surveys of all public lands in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, is located at Cincinnati. The one for the states of Illinois and Missouri, is at St. Louis. Another recently established for the Territories of Wisconsin and Iowa, is located at Du Buque. These tracts are subdivided into Land Districts, having an office attached to each. Meridian lines are es- tablished and surveyed in a line due north from some important point, generally from the junction of some important water courses. These are intersected at right angles with a base line. On the meridians, the " townships" are numbered north or south from the base lines, arid on the base line " ranges" east or west of the meridian. The numbers of "ranges" are placed on the accompanying map, in Roman charac- ters. There are six principal meridians used in the western states and territories. The first principal meridian is a line due north from the mouth of the Great Miami river, to the old northern boundary of Ohio, with a base line extend- ing due east on the 41st degree of latitude. The second principal meridian is a line due north from a point on the Ohio river to the northern boun- dary of Indiana. The third principal meridian is a line due north from the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, 28 PUBLIC LANDS. % to the north boundary of Illinois. The base line for the second and third principal meridians commences on the Ohio river, at 38 30' north latitude, and ex- tends due west to the Mississippi. The fourth principal meridian commences on the Illinois river, at a point 72 miles due north from its mouth, (here also commences its base line, and runs due west to the Mississippi river.) The meridian continues north (crossing and recrossing the Miss- issippi river,) to the Wisconsin river, with an addi- tional base line on the north boundary of Illinois, for the surveys in Wisconsin. The fifth principal meridian is a line beginning at the mouth of the Arkansas river ; thence through the states of Arkansas and Missouri, to town 54 north, where it crosses the Mississi ppi, recrosses into Iowa ter- ritory, and continues to the Mississippi river, near Cass- ville. Its base line extends due west from the mouth of White river to the western boundary of Arkansas. A sixth principal meridian is used for the state of Michigan, beginning on the south boundary of the State, in a due north direction from the junction of the Maumee and Au Glaize rivers, to the straits of Mackinac, having a base line crossing the peninsula in a due west line from about the center of Lake St, Clair to Lake Michigan. When a meridian and base line have been laid out, township lines are run (at a distance of 6 miles) paral- lel to the meridian and base lines. These form town- ships of 6 miles square, containing an area of 36 square miles. Each square mile is termed a section, and contains 640 acres. The sections are numbered from 1 to 36, beginning at the north-east corner of the township, as in the following diagram : PUBLIC LANDS. 29 6 5 4 3 2 1 7 8 9 10 11 12 18 17 * 15 14 13 19 20 21 22 23 24 30 29 28 27 26 25 31 32 33 34 35 36 Sections are divided in quarter sections of 160 acres each, thus : Sections are divided into half quarter sections of 80 acres each, thus : When surveyed, the lands are offered for sale at public auction, but cannot be disposed of at a less price than one dollar and a quarter per acre.

OHIO is bounded north by the State of Michigan and Lake Erie, east by Pennsylvania, south-east and south by the Ohio river, which separates it from Vir- ginia and Kentucky, and west by Indiana. Length 222 miles. Mean breadth 200 miles, containing 44,400 square miles. , Face of the Country, fyc. The northern parts of the state bordering on Lake Erie, and the interior, are generally level, and in some places wet and marshy. The eastern and south-eastern parts, near the Ohio river, are very uneven, though often rising into very abrupt and broken hills this section can- not properly be termed mountainous. On the mar- gin of the Ohio, and several of its tributaries, are strips of alluvial of great fertility. The valleys of the Sciota and the Great and Little Miami, are the most extensive sections of level, rich and fertile lands, in the state. In a state of nature Ohio was, with the exception of some central prairies, covered with a dense forest, to which the fertility of the soil gave a stupendous development. The most extensive prairies are found on the head waters of the Muskingum and Sciota; also near the sources of the Miami river, and the north-western parts of the state. The forest trees most abundant are, the oak of several species, black and white walnut, hickory, maple of different kinds, ash of various species, beech, birch and poplar, sycamore, linden, chestnut, locust, elm, buck-eye, with numerous others. The undergrowth are black-haw, dog-wood, horn-beam, iron-wood, thorn, and grape- vines. The prairies produce large quantities of grass. OHIO. 33 All varieties of fruit trees are easily cultivated. The agricultural productions are, wheat, rye, Indian corn, oats, buckwheat, barley, potatoes, and all kinds of gar- den vegetables ; considerable attention of late has been paid to the cultivation of hemp and tobacco. The raising of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine for expor- tation, engages the attention of a large proportion of the farmers. Rivers, 8fC. The principal rivers in Ohio, besides the great and beautiful river which gives its name to the state, and forms part of its eastern and its entire southern boundary, are the Mahoning, Beaver, Mus- kingum, Hockhocking, Scioto, and Little and Great Miami, which flow south into the Ohio river. Those which flow northward into Lake Erie are the Mau- mee, Portage, Sandusky, Huron, Cuyahoga, Grand, and Ashtabula. Lake Erie forms the northern boun- dary of the state for 160 miles, and is navigable for the largest vessels. Form of Government. The Legislative authority is vested in a Senate and House of Representatives, both of which collectively, are styled the General Assembly. The representatives are chosen for one year, and for eligibility must be a citizen of the Uni- ted States, and 25 years of age, having resided in the state one year, and paid a tax. Their number must never exceed 72, nor be less than 36. The Senate is composed of members elected for two years, who must not exceed one-half nor fall short of one-third, of the number in the House of Representatives. A senator must be a citizen of the United States, 30 years of age, and have resided two years in the dis. trict from which he is chosen. The General Assem- bly has the sole power of enacting all the State laws 34 OHIO. the assent or signature of the governor not being necessary in any case whatever. The qualifications of an elector, are, to be one year a resident of the State, 21 years of age, and a citizen of the United States. The judiciary system comprises three several grades of courts, namely ; the supreme court, courts of common pleas, and justices' courts. The supreme executive authority is vested in a governor chosen biennally by the people. He must be 30 years of age, and have resided in the state at least four years. He is commander.in-chief of the militia, and commissions all officers in the state, both civil and military. COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF OHIO.

THE State of Michigan is composed of two Penin- sulas, formed by the great lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie. Its boundaries are thus establish, ed by an act of Congress. " Beginning at the point where a line, drawn direct from the southern ex- tremity of Lake Michigan to the most northerly cape of Maumee Bay, intersects the eastern boundary line of the State of Indiana, and running thence with the said line to the said most northerly cape of the Maumee Bay ; and thence from the said north cape of the said bay, north-east to the boundary line be- tween the United States and the province of Upper Canada ; thence, with said boundary line through the Detroit river, Lake Huron, and Lake Superior, to a point where the said line last touches Lake Superior (being the mouth of Pigeon river) ; thence in a direct line through Lake Superior, to the mouth of the Montreal river; thence, through the main channel of the said river Montreal, to the middle of the Lake of the Desert ; thence in a direct line to the nearest head water of the Monomonie river ; thence, through the middle of that fork of the said river first touched by said line, to the main channel of the said Mono- monie river ; thence down the center of the main channel of the same, to the center of the most usual ship channel of the Green Bay of Lake Michigan ; thence through the center of the most usual ship channel of the said bay, to the middle of Lake Michi- gan ; thence through the middle of Lake Michigan, to the northern boundary of the State of Indiana, as that line was established by the act of Congress of MICHIGAN. 75 the nineteenth of April, 1816 ; thence, due east with the north boundary line of the state of Indiana, to the north-east corner thereof ; and thence south, with the east boundary line of Indiana, to the place of be- ginning." Face of the Country, fyc. The surface of the lower or southern peninsula is generally level, hav- jng very few elevations which may be termed hills. The interior is gently undulating, rising gradually from the lakes to the center of the peninsula, and is mostly covered with fine forests of timber, inter- spersed with " oak openings," " plains," and beau- tiful " prairies." Along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, are sand hills, thrown by the winds into innumerable fantastic forms, sometimes covered with stinted trees and scanty vegetation, but most general- ly bare ; on the shore of Lake Huron, are some high sand cliffs. The point formed by Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay is generally low and swampy. The forest trees are the same as in Ohio, with the addition of white and yellow pine ; fruit trees pro- duce abundantly. The soil is well adapted to wheat, rye, oats, bar- ley, flax, hemp, Indian corn, buck-wheat, &c. All kinds of garden vegetables, and the various species of grasses, thrive well. Rivers. The southern peninsula of Michigan is drained by several large rivers and numerous smaller streams, which rise near the center and pass off in an easterly and westerly direction, with the exception of the Cheboigan and three or four smaller streams, which flow in a northerly direction ; the larger streams are navigable for boats and canoes nearly to their sources, ftaisin and Huron rivers flow into Lake Erie, Rouge 76 MICHIGAN. into the Detroit strait, Clinton, St. Clair, and Black river into the lake and strait of St. Clair. Saginaw river, formed by the junction of the Tittibawassee, Hare, Shiawassee, Flint and Cass rivers, enters into Saginaw Bay. Thunder Bay river and Cheboigan, with several smaller streams, flow into the northern part of Lake Huron. St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Grand and Maskego rivers, and several smaller streams, flow in a westerly direction into Lake Michigan. The counties of Oakland, Livingston, Washtenaw, Barry, Jackson and Kalamazoo, abound with small clear lakes, from which are taken great quantities of fish of various kinds, and of most exquisite flavor. The Northern Peninsula. ?** The entire area com- prehended within the state limits west of lakes Mi. chigan and Huron, cannot be stated with accuracy in the present unsurveyed condition of the country ; but it cannot, if I have used proper data, vary greatly from twenty-two millions of acres." " Portions of it are the mere development of sublime scenery, which appertains to that comparatively elevated portion of the continent. Mountains and lakes, plains, rivers and forests, spread over it with a boldness of outline, which may be said to constitute almost a peculiar type in North American geography. This division embraces the mineral district of the region. Much of it falls under the influence of causes which render it of little or no value in an agricultural point of view : but it may be regarded as the seat of future mineral operations. Accuracy, with respect to the extent of either kind of soil, either in acres or miles, must be the result of explanation and survey. The * Schoolcraft. MICHIGAN. 77 northern shores of Lake Michigan and Huron, as far as Point Detour, are exclusively limestone, where rock is at all visible, and this rock is characterised by the usual indications of gypsum and brine springs. The growth of trees in the newly acquired boundary is as various as the soils, and is, in general, an accu- rate index of its fertility. The sugar maple is inter- spersed throughout the tract, being separated by the sand plains, the mountain masses, and by tracts of spruce lands. This tree forms, however, so consi- derable a proportion of the growth, that the natives can always, by a timely removal of their camps, rely on the manufacture of sugar. The beech tree is found as far north as Point Iroquois, at the outlet of Lake Superior. I regard the white oak, however, as a surer test of soil and climate together, than any other of our forest trees. I doubt whether this tree ever attains its full size in a climate that is not decidedly con- genial to agriculture. The rock maple and red oak are found, at intervals, throughout the north-west ; I have seen both species at the sources of the Missis- sippi, but have not observed the beech north of the locality mentioned, nor the white oak north of the straits of Mackinac. The interior abounds in minor lakes, and enjoys a singular advantage of inter-com- munication by its streams and portages. The areas included between the three great lakes north of Mackinac, which will probably hereafter be denomi- nated the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, embraces the present settlements at Mackinac and Sault St. Marie.

THE State of Indiana is bounded on the north by the Lake and State of Michigan ; east by the State of Ohio ; south by the Ohio river, which separates it from Kentucky ; and west by the State of Illinois. Length 260, breadth 150 miles ; containing an area of 37,800 square miles. Face of the Country, fyc. Indiana is in no part mountainous ; that portion bordering on the Ohio, contains much broken, hilly land. The interior part the valleys of the East and Westforks of White river, present a gentle, undulating country, generally timbered, with occasional strips of rich bottom land on the margin of the streams. The valley of the Wabash, in the lower part, is an undulating surface of forest and prairie ; north of Terre Haute, the land is of the first quality, fine forest, occasionally opening into beautiful and fertile prairies. On the St. Joseph's, and across to the head waters of the Maumee, are extensive wet and dry prairies, and heavily timbered lands, with a soil of exhaustless fertility. On the shore of Lake Michigan are sand hills, and along the Kankakee are extensive swamps and marshes. The kinds of timber most abundant are, oaks of various species, ash, beech, buckeye, walnut, cherry, sugar tree, hickory, elm, sassafras, linden, honey-locust, with some cotton wood, sycamore, hackberry and mulberry. The principal productions are wheat, rye, Indian corn, oats, buckwheat, barley, potatoes, and all kinds of garden vegetables. Rivers. The Ohio meanders along the entire southern boundary of the state. The east and west INDIANA. 95 forks of White river, and their branches, drain the interior counties for an extent of 200 miles, and are navigable for flat-boats, during the seasons of floods, a distance of 100 miles from their mouths. The Wabash river is navigable for steamboats to La Fayette ; it interlocks with the head waters of the St. Joseph's and the Maumee. The main branch rises in Ohio, and after a meandering course of more than 200 miles, becomes the boundary between the states of Indiana and Illinois, which it forms for a distance of 120 miles, when it unites with the Ohio river. Form of Government, fyc. The constitution pro- vides that a census shall be made every 5 years of all free white male inhabitants, above the age of twenty. one years ; and the representation of both houses of the General Assembly is apportioned by such enu- meration, in such ratio, that the number of represen- tatives shall never be less than thirty-six, nor exceed one hundred; -and the number of senators not ex ceeding one-half, nor less than one-third the number of representatives. Every free white male citizen, twenty-one years of age, who has resided in the state one year, is entitled to vote, " except such as shall be enlisted into the army of the United States, or their allies." Elections annually by ballot, on the first Monday in August. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Sena- tors, hold their office for three years. The Judiciary is vested in a Supreme Court, in Circuit Courts, and in such other inferior Courts as the General Assembly shall, from time to time, direct and establish. 06 INDIANA.

THE State of Illinois is bounded on the north by Wisconsin Territory ; east by Indiana ; south-east and south by the Ohio river, which separates it from Kentucky ; and west by the Mississippi, which sepa- rates it from the State of Missouri and Iowa Terri- tory. Its extreme length is 378 miles, and its ex- treme width 210 miles, containing an area of about 55,000 square miles. Face of the Country, SfC. The surface is gene- rally level ; the southern and northern parts of the state are somewhat broken and hilly, but no where rising to an elevation deserving the name of a moun- tain. That portion of the state, south of a line from the mouth of the Wabash to the mouth of the Kas- kaskia, is mostly covered with timber ; thence north- ward, prairie predominates. " The eye sometimes wanders over immense plains, covered with grass, finding no limit to its vision but the distant horizon ; while more frequently it wanders from grove to grove, and from one point of woodland to another, charmed and refreshed by an endless variety of scenic beauty." A range of bluffs commence on the margin of the Mississippi, (a short distance above the mouth of the Ohio,) and extends north of the Des Moines Rapids, sometimes rising abruptly from the water's edge, but most generally at a few miles dis- tance, having, between the bluffs and the river, a strip of alluvial formation, of most exhaustless fer. tility. The soil throughout the state is generally very fertile. The forest trees most abundant are oak of different species, walnut, ash, elm, sugar ILLINOIS. 123 maple, locust, hackberry, buckeye, sycamore, *9T <.h . v G. e. Buffalo Grove, p. o.

THE State of Missouri is bounded north by the Iowa Territory ; east by the Mississippi river, which separates it from Illinois and Kentucky; south by the State of Arkansas ; and west by the Indian Ter- ritory and Missouri river. Length from north to south 278 miles ; mean breadth 230 miles ; contain- ing an area of 64,140 square miles. Face of the Country, fyc. With the exception of the alluvial bottoms, Missouri is rolling or hilly ; yet no part rises to an elevation deserving the name of a mountain. No other state in the union is so greatly diversified as respects soil and external features. The south-eastern corner is almost entirely alluvial. A range of hills commences in St. Francis county, and extend in a south-westerly direction to the southern boundary of the state. Another range of a larger class, commencing near the Missouri and between the waters of the Gasconade and Osage, continues through the state, increasing in magnitude, until far within the State of Arkansas ; these are termed the Ozark mountains. This ridge is frequently very abrupt near the water courses, and often retir- ing from them, with strips of rich alluvial be- tween. In St. Francis county exists the celebra- ted " mountain" of micaceous oxide of iron, which has an elevation of 350 feet above the surrounding plain, is a mile and a half across its summit, and yields eighty per cent, pure metal. Five miles south is another magnificent pyramidal " moun- tain" of the micaceous oxide of iron, known as the MISSOURI. 147 Pilot Knob, 300 feet high, and with a base of a mile and a half in circumference. This pyramid is not in plates, but huge masses of several tons in weight, yields also 80 per cent. Copper is also found in Missouri, and its inexhaustible lead mines are well known. The " Pine Ridge," in this region, furnishes that lofty timber in abundance ; many of the trees being ninety feet high, and four feet in diameter. Washington county is a perfect bed of metallic trea- sures ; lead and copper, copperas, chalk, black lead and brimstone, cornelian and other precious stones, free-stone, lime-stone, grind-stone, and burr-stone. St. Genevieve county has numerous quarries of mag- nificent marble, and vast caverns of beautiful white sand, resembling snow, much prized for the manufac- tory of flint glass. * " Throughout the mineral dis- trict is found, on searching the bowels of the earth for ores, beds of rich, red, marl day, which has been proved to be the very best manure for the soil. These beds are inexhaustible ; and some years hence, that portion of Missouri which is considered a sterile, mineral region, will be found as fertile as any por- tion of the state."

The country north of the Missouri, is emphatically the " Garden of the^ West." There is no part of the globe where greater extent of country can be traversed more easily when in its natural state. It is for the most part a surface delightfully rolling and variegated, sometimes rising into pictu- * Dr. Linn. 148 MISSOURI. resque hills, then stretching far away into a sea of prairie, occasionally interspersed with shady groves and sparkling streamlets. Almost every acre of this fine region of country is susceptible of agricultural improvement, and unusually productive. The pro- ducts consist of tobacco, cotton, hemp, corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, and the grasses. All kinds of garden vegetables thrive well. Large quantities of horses, mules, horned cattle, , sheep and hogs, are raised annually for exportation. Rivers. The Mississippi meanders along the en- tire eastern boundary of the state, for a distance of 400 miles, and receiving in its course the waters of the Missouri. Through the center and the richest part of the state, the wild Missouri pours out its never-ceasing currents, being navigable for steam- boats far westward, for four or five months in the year. The Lamine, Osage and Gasconade on the right, and the Grand and Chariton on the left, are the navigable tributaries of the Missouri. Salt river, a navigable stream, falls into the Mssissippi 85 miles above the Missouri. Merrimac river, a navigable stream, enters the Mississippi 18 miles below St. Louis. The White and St. Francis drain the south- eastern portion, and the Six Bulls and tributaries the south-western part of the state. The principal exports are lead and furs. A large capital is employed in the fur trade, on the head waters of the Missouri. Form of Government, fyc. The powers of govern- ment are divided into three distinct departments.

WISCONSIN TERRITORY embraces all that portion of country lying north of the State of Illinois ; east of the Mississippi river, and a line drawn due north from its source to the boundary between the United States and the British possessions ; and west of the Montreal and Menomonee rivers, and Lake Michigan. Government. The legislative power is vested in the governor and the legislative assembly. The legislative assembly consists of a council of thirteen members, elected for four years, and a House of Representatives of twenty-six members, elected for two years. Face of the Country, fyc. The surveyed part, south of Green Bay, Fox, and Wisconsin rivers, is composed of timbered and prairie land, with some swamps, or wet prairies, having generally a soil from one to ten feet deep. All kinds of crops which are raised in northern latitudes may be cultivated with success ; and, owing to the great range of pasturage on the prairies, it is an uncommonly fine stock-raising country. The counties of Grant and Iowa abound with lead and copper ore. This region is well watered with clear perennial streams and springs. North of the Wis- consin commences a hilly, and thence northward gradually swelling into a mountainous region, the sur- face becomes rugged and broken, the streams rush- ing down falls and rapids, forming *in many places, wild and picturesque views. Near the sources of the Mississippi is an elevated table land, abounding with lakes and swamps, filled with wild rice and fish. 166 WISCONSIN. Bordering the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers, the soil is rich, and the surface most generally covered with a heavy growth of timber. SKETCH OF EACH COUNTY.

Drained by the Blue, Grant and Platte rivers. This county offers great inducements to emigrants, as a great proportion of the land is reserved from sale, on ac- count of the lead ore contained in it ; the right of pre-emption to which will no doubt be given here- after to all who now are, or hereafter may settle upon it. The soil, including mineral land, is extreme- ly productive, and yields from 50 to 65 bushels of corn to the acre, 60 to 70 oats, 20 to 35 wheat, and rye and barley in like proportions, and vegetables not surpassed either for quality or quantity.

IOWA. IOWA TERRITORY embraces all that portion of country lying north of the State of Missouri, west of the Mississippi river, and a line due north from its source to the British possessions, south of the British possessions, and east of the Missouri and White-earth rivers. This country was erected into a separate territorial government by act of Congress, in June, 1838 ; the commencement of the government dated from the 4th of the succeeding July. The legislative power is vested in the Governor and the Legislative Assembly, which consists of a council of 13 members, elected for 2 years, and a House of Representatives of 26 members, elected annually. The sum of $20,000 has been appropri- ated by the government of the United States, to erect public buildings at the seat of the territorial govern- ment. That part of the territory which has been survey- ed, is a strip on the Mississippi of about an average width of 60 miles ; extending from the north boun- dary of the state of Missouri, a distance of 210 miles, to the Yellow river. This portion is more or less settled ; it is a beautiful, fertile, healthy, and un- dulating country, interspersed with timber lands and prairies, abounding in springs and mill streams. It is now settling very rapidly, with enterprising and industrious inhabitants. The streams rise in the great prairies, and those which have an easterly course unite with the Mississippi, the eastern boun- dary of the territory, while those which flow in a westerly direction, fall into the Missouri river. The IOWA. 171 streams which flow through the surveyed part are the Des Moines, Skunk, Iowa, Wapsipinecon, Mako- queta, Turkey, and Yellow rivers ; farther north is the Upper Iowa, and still further, the St. Peter's river, which rises near the "sacred red pipestone quarries" of the Indians.
