Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Natural Resources of the United States The intention of this volume is to give the American people a concise narrative of the natural resources of their own country, in all their numerous forms. Only four classes of these treasures have been written upon - the precious metals coal, iron, and petroleum. The present view is designed to be comprehensive and sufficiently full on each resource; it proposes to give an account only of the materials found in Nature, and on which are based the industry and the physical comfort of the people. "The original source of wealth is the bounty of God in Nature." It is not within the scope of this volume to give information in respect to the using of these sources of wealth, such as of the means of transportation or of manufacturing, and yet it has occasionally related incidents connected with such beginnings - the latter being a class of information that would interest the intelligent reader. The question arises, Is it possible, in a book of 523 pages, to give a satisfactory account of these resources?
