Excerpt from The Mining Advance Into the Inland Empire: A Comparative Study of the Beginnings of the Mining Industry in Idaho and Montana, Eastern Washington and Oregon, and the Southern Interior of British Columbia, And of Institutions and Laws Based Upon That IndustryIt should be made plain at the outset of this study that the term Inland Empire, as applied in the title, is used more as a convenient name for a movement than as a precise geographical designation. The region with which we are concerned includes (in terms of present political boundaries) the southern interior of British Columbia, eastern Oregon and Washington, western Montana, and Idaho. When this region began to attract wide attention about the time of the Civil War in the United States, because of a series of great mining rushes it was known vaguely in the East as the Northwest, while along the west ern coast it was spoken of frequently as the N orthem Interior.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
