Excerpt from Minnesota and the Far WestAT a time when the greatest Powers of Europe have combined to resist barbarian aggression, and public interest is concentrated upon the East, the rapid advance of civilisation in the West possesses claims upon our notice which are in danger of being overlooked. I have therefore ventured to direct attention to the revolution which is now being effected in the physical and moral condition of a great country, and which is likely to be attended with results scarcely less important to the interests of humanity, than those that are expected to follow from the war in which we are now engaged - where the ploughshare, and not the sword, is used as the precursor of civilisation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
