Book Description
Excerpt from Western Portraiture, and Emigrants' Guide: A Description of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa; With Remarks on Minnesota, and Other Territories There have been published several very useful and interesting Guides and Gazetteers of the West - for times past - but the transformations, the improvements, are so rapid and extensive, that those books give duly slight and imperfect knowledge of that progressive region, as the present finds it. So quick and numer ous are the changes in the West, that the traveler of the spring, returning by the same route in autumn, scarcely knows his whereabouts; and the pioneer who makes a summer's visit to his old home-place, is equally surprised, on his return, at the changes which have taken place, the advancement made there, and he hardly recognizes the locality of his new home, after the short absence of one season. Immigrants have located, new shantees have been stuck up, and they even succeeded by new houses, new fences have been made, new roads laid, and new ditches dug. The enchanting power of industry, in a genial clinic, on a fertile soil, has done this; but it is not illusory enchantment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Change in Agriculture
Author: Clarence H. Danhof
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674107700
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
American agriculture changed radically between 1820 and 1870. In turning slowly from subsistence to commercial farming, farmers on the average doubled the portion of their production places on the market, and thereby laid the foundations for today's highly productive agricultural industry. But the modern system was by no means inevitable. It evolved slowly through an intricate process in which innovative and imitative entrepreneurs were the key instruments.

Book Description
The Everett D. Graff Collection of Western Americana consists of some 10,000 books, manuscripts, maps, pamphlets, broadsides, broadsheets, and photographs, of which about half are described in the present catalogue.

From this rich collection, now in The Newberry Library, Chicago, its former Curator, Colton Storm, has compiled a discriminating and representative Catalogue of the rarer and more unusual materials. Collectors, bibliographers, librarians, historians, and book dealers specializing in Americana will find the Graff Catalogue an interesting and essential tool.
