Description:One of the preceding volumes in this series dealt with the Mississippi Valley and another with the Pacific Coast. The present book covers the region lying between and takes its name from the most dominant physical feature of that area. Of necessity its text deals both with the mountains and with the great agricultural states that lie to the eastward, but perhaps it is not any the less interesting because of the contrasts thus afforded. I have tried to give a fair idea of the varied characteristics and attractions of this vast territory from Mexico to Canada.The several volumes in this series have as a rule very little to say of the large towns. Country life is their chief topic, especially the typical and the picturesque. To the traveller, no life is more interesting, and yet there is none with which it is so difficult to get into close and unconventional contact. Ordinarily, we catch only casual glimpses. For this reason I have wandered much on rural byways and lodged most of the time at village hotels or in rustic homes. My trips have taken me to many characteristic and famous regions; but always in both text and pictures I have tried to show actual life and nature and to convey some of the pleasure I experience in my intimate acquaintance with the people.Clifton JohnsonHadley, Mass.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
