Una descrizione pittorica degli Stati Uniti; abbracciando la storia, la posizione geografica, le risorse agricole e minerali .. . e it. Le rive dell'Ohio e del Wabash, in diverse parti, sono come eleva-ted come la terra vista sul lato opposto dei ruscelli, mentre il clusting hou-ses vicino alla riva, i segni di navigazione sull'acqua, e il generale come-pect di attività attiva e prospera, da un lato, e di un paese vario e fecondo, dall'altro, può dare l'impressione di uno dei westerncabits che si innalza così rapidamente sui confini di quei grandi e bei fiumi.

A pictorial description of the United States; embracing the history, geographical position, agricultural and mineral resources .. . e it. The banks of the Ohio and theWabash, in several parts, are as eleva-ted as the land seen on the opposite sideof the streams, while the clusturing hou-ses near the shore, the signs of naviga-tion on the water, and the general as-pect of active and prosperous business, on the one hand, and of a varied andfruitful country, on the other, may affordan impression of one of the westerntowns rising so rapidly on the bordersof those large and beautiful rivers. Theroofs of large public buildings are seenabove the numerous private habitations, and the number of church steeples, which present the most conspicuousobjects, indicate that vaiuous Christiandenominations in the country are repre-sented in our distant regions, and car-ry with them their zeal and their in-dustry. There are salt-springs in differentparts of Indiana; but the people wereformerly wholly supplied with salt fromthe United States saline, near Shawnee-town, and the salines of Kenhawa. Coalbeds exist in some places, and copper. ore is found in the north. From earlytimes a report has prevailed that a silvermine existed near Ouitanon ; but theuniform surface of the country and thedeep soil which covers a large part ofit, are unfavorable to the discovery ofmines, and to the abundance of mineralsof any kind. Large tracts of the state, as in many other extensive regions ofthe west, are destitute of rocks, stones, and even pebbles. The navigable waters of Indiana arevery numerous and extensive ; the prin-cipal rivers being accessible in largesteamboats, and many of their branchesbeing boatable. The entire extent ofnavigable waters has been variously es-timated at from two thousand five hun-dred miles and upward. So numerous are the streams whichapproach the shores of the lakes, so highare they navigable in boats, at least apart of the year, and so many conveni-ent ponds lie between, tha
