Book excerpt: This is a history of the Western states that comprise America, tracing back to the Spanish and the Age of Exploration. From the intro: "DURING the sad, tragic years of the Rebellion, a large two-volume work, by the authors of this, was published under the title of "Our Whole Country." It was modeled on the same general plan with the Historical Collections of Massachusetts and of Connecticut, by John W. Barber, and the Historical Collections of Virginia and of Ohio, by Henry Howe. That work was issued at great expense, consequent upon years of labor, extensive travel, and the drawing and engraving of many hundred original views of objects of interest in all parts of our land. This expense was full fifteen thousand dollars before the first sheet of paper was bought upon which it was printed, and was an undivided enterprise of our own. The changed condition of a part of our country, united to the double expense of book publishing, compels us to alter the plan, and to issue the original work in two independent, separate books, with such changes in the materials as are demanded by the lapse of time and events. By, this means a choice of either will be given to such limited finances as cannot grasp both. The one book will comprise "The Atlantic States, North, and South;" the other is the present volume, "The Whole West." The first-named will be preceded by an introduction giving the general history of the country, when will follow, in order, all the sea-board States, originally British colonies, and the old Spanish colony of Florida, the most ancient of them all, but of feeble nursing and of trivial growth. The book you hold comprises all of that immense territory comprehended under the term " The Great West." The six States of the South-west are herein grouped by themselves; and the articles upon them, and the views of places therein, are especially interesting, as showing their condition and appearance at the outbreak of the late terrible struggle. Prom chaos may new and more graceful forms arise, and that unhappy people, whose valor and endurance have been so extraordinary, be soon lifted into clearer skies and to more pleasing visions. For obvious reasons, the events of the late intestine war have no place here. Their introduction would swell the work to too extensive proportions. Besides, it is to be expected that every family will possess volumes solely devoted to that topic which has entered so largely and thrillingly into the general experience of us all."

Excerpt: ... above the present village of Mendota, on the south side of the river, where they wintered. Col. Snelling subsequently assumed command of the garrison. On the 10th of September of the next year (1820), the corner stone of Fort Snelling was laid. The wife of Colonel Snelling, " a few days after her arrival at Ihe post, gave birth to the first infant of white parents in Minnesota, which, after a brief existence of thirteen months, departed to a better land. The dilapidated monument which marks the remains of the ' little one, ' is still visible in the graveyard of the fort. Beside Mrs. Snelling, the wife of the commissary, and of Captain Gooding, were in the garrison, the first American ladies that ever wintered in Minnesota." The Minne-ha-ha Falls, the existence of which the genius of Longfellow has pA-petuated in living lines, is within a few minutes drive from Fort Snclling, or St. Anthony, being between these two points. "Waterfalls, in the Dakotah tongue, are called ha-ha. The 'h, has a strong guttural sound, and the word is ap.ftt' plied because of the curling or laughing of the waters. The verb I-ha-ha primarily means to curl; secondarily to laugh, because of the curling motion of the mouth in laughter. The noise of Ha-ha is called by the Dakotahs 1-ha-ha, because of its resemblance to laughter. A small rivulet, the outlet of Lake Harriet and Calhoun, gently gliding over the bluff into an amphitheater, forms this graceful waterfall. It has but little of 'the cataract's thunder.' Niagara symbolizes the sublime; St Anthony the picturesque; Ha-ha the beautiful. The fall is about sixty feet, presenting a parabolic curve, which drops, without the least deviation, until it has reached its lower level, when the stream goes on...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Barber and Howe go west! This 1868 collaboration from American historians John Warner Barber (1798-1885) and Henry Howe (1816-1893) surveys twenty-one states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) and nine territories (Arizona, Colorado, Dacotah [sic], Idaho, Indian [Territory], Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington) during a period of rapid growth and transformation for the nation. There is even an article on “Russian America,” describing the territory newly acquired through the 1867 purchase of Alaska. This book includes “history from the earliest times,” descriptions of interesting “incidents from pioneer life,” and nearly 250 illustrations. In its time, Western States was a valued resource for Westerners, and served as a “wish book” for Easterners dreaming of a life in the west. More than 150 years later, it will afford many hours of enjoyment and instill pride in those whose ancestors were part of the 19th-century movement of settlers into the American West.” – back cover.
