Excerpt from Valley of the Upper Wabash, Indiana: With Hints on Its Agricultural Advantages, Plan of a Dwelling, Estimates of Cultivation, and Notices of Labor-Saving Machines The writer of the following pages was led to their preparation from a desire to answer numerous inquiries addressed to him by friends, and inability to effect that object, without a great expense of time and labor, in the ordinary modes of correspondence. To the daily routine of his profession, have been added the constant claims of an extended agency, and in the midst of all these duties, letter after letter has accumulated on his hands. The interrogatories, too, which they contained, were often those requiring a minute investigation. Information has been sought in regard to the purchase and sale of lands, the cost and profit of their cultivation, the products best adapted to their soil, the income to be derived from different agricultural operations, the benefits resulting from the introduction and use of various labor-saving machines, together with the lines of communication open, or to be established, as well for travel as the exportation of produce. To impart such information is the object of this work. Over this extended field, the writer has endeavored to proceed and gather those particulars which will enable his readers to arrive at just conclusions in regard to the inquiries mentioned.
