Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Complete Reference Gazetteer of the United States of North America: Containing a General View of the United States, and of Each State and Territory, and a Notice of the Various Canals, Railroads, and Internal Improvements In the preparation of this Gazetteer and the Map, which has occupied nearly three years, the principal object has been to present a work as complete and comprehensive as the present state of statistical and geographical knowledge would admit, within the smallest practical size. To accomplish this design, and make it eminently practical as a book of reference, the principal places only are described in detail, and the descriptions are confined for the most part to matters which are permanent in their character. The great inconvenience attending large and expensive gazetteers, ma country undergoing such vast changes and improvements as ours, is, that much of the detail becomes in a very few years obsolete and useless. The author has therefore preferred to substitute a larger number of places, and other matter of a less ephemeral nature. And the Gazetteer is offered as embracing several thousand more names than is to be found in any other single work of a similar character. Besides the usual places, all the post offices in the United States are given from the official list of the Post Master General up to the year 1837. Although intended to accompany the Map of the United States, yet the Map and Book are not necessarily connected - each being complete in itself, with the single exception of a few reference initial letters of towns and villages inserted on the map, where it was impossible conveniently to give the names in full. The whole work taken separately, or with the Map, is particularly calculated for business men, as a complete geographical reference. To obtain the latest information, the following letter was extensively Circulated throughout the country, particularly in the western and southwestern sections.
