[EAN: 9781331876762], Livro novo, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Climates of the Northwest: Being Condensed Notes of a Lecture An almost continuous residence for more than twenty years upon the Pacific slope and in the interior regions of the Continent, much of which time was spent in travel by sea and land, has brought me face to face with nearly all the topographical and climatic conditions of the country lying west of the Mississippi. These in all essential particulars differed so widely from those of the Atlantic regions, that observation was awakened, and inquiry into the causes of difference stimulated. Some of the results of these observations and inquiries have been condensed in the form of a lecture, brief notes of which are now published more for the benefit of those who are inquiring for new homes in the far west, than for scientific climatologists. If they shall contribute in any measure to a better popular understanding of the climatic conditions of the western half of the Continent, the object of their publication will have been accomplished. The facts stated in the following pages may be relied upon as substantially correct - nothing having been set down as such except the personal observations of the writer and the experiences of most reliable men long familiar with given districts of country. The reasonableness of causes, when presented, and their sufficiency to produce the results stated, must be determined by the reader. It will not be claimed that the country known as the Great West, taken as a whole, will compare favorably, acre for acre, with the region already populated. But in delightfulness and salubrity of climate, magnificence of scenery and variety of resources, much of it far exceeds any portion of the country lying east of the Father of Waters; while the composition of the atmosphere, the general temperature and the sublime and strongly contrasted scenery produce an exuberance of spirits, a luxury of existence, an intense enjoyment of animal life nowhere else experienced upon the Continent. We enjoy by contrast. Hence our strife to out-dress, out-build and out-improve our neighbors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
