Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Massachusetts An Indian name originally applied to a small hillock, bordering on Boston harbor, and thence to a neighboring tribe of Indians. It is the chief political division of New England, and one of the original thirteen States of the American Union. It lies for the most part between 40° and 42° 45´ north latitude, and 70° 30´ and 73° 30´ west longitude. Physical Description. - Its area of about 7,800 square miles, forms in the main a parallelogram, of 100 miles east and west, 50 miles north and south, - with a projection at the southeast and a lesser one at the northeast, which gives a breadth of 90 miles at this part, where it borders upon the ocean, while the general irregularity of this coast-line gives a sea-frontage of about 250 miles. No large navigable river flows in any part, though the Connecticut River, bisecting the Stale during 50 miles of its course, and fed within it by several lateral streams, has been made navigable for small craft. The Housatonic, a lesser stream, flows parallel with the Connecticut, farther west. The two valleys are separated by the I loo sac Range (1,200 to 1,000 feet high) of the Berkshire Hills, a part of the Appalachian system, and a continuation of the Green Mountains of Vermont.
