Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on the Internal Improvements and Commerce of the West To the Secretary of the State of Massachusetts: Dear Sir, - Such are now the facilities of intercommunication, by the means of steam-boats, rail-roads, and canals, that, in four days and a half, from the time of leaving Boston, I was standing on the banks of Niagara river and looking down into the profound gulf of its stupendous cataract; and had I not been detained twelve hours in New-York, in consequence of there not being a morning boat to Albany, and nearly as many more in Rochester, I should have performed the whole journey to this place, of 770 miles, in four days, without being deprived of an hour´s sleep, and in the most pleasant and interesting manner. It is impossible for persons residing in the older portions of the United States, to form an adequate conception of the great progress which has been made, and the giant strides with which our country is advancing, in population and all the arts of civilization, - of the wonderful physical and moral changes, which have been effected, within the last thirty years, throughout the whole extent of the Republic, without passing through the western parts of New-York and Pennsylvania, and the new states and territories which have been formed in the broad Valley of the Mississippi, since the close of the Revolution.
