The purpose of this volume is to present an adequate description of all essential things in the upbuilding of the country, and to supplement this by good illustrations and maps. Political geography, being the background of all historical knowledge, is made a special topic, while the development of government, foreign relations, the diplomatic adjustment of controversies, and social and economic conditions, have been duly emphasized. All sections of the Union, North, East, South, West, and Far West, receive fair treatment.
