Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fanning's Illustrated Gazetteer of the United States: Giving the Location, Physical Aspect, Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, Climate, Productive and Manufacturing Resources, Commerce, Government, Education, General History, Etc. Of the States, Territories, Counties, Cities, Towns, and Post-Offices Within that time there have been added to the territory of the republic, by annexation, conquest, and purchase, square miles; and our title to a region covering square miles, which before properly belonged to us, but was claimed and partially occupied by a foreign power, has been established by negotiation and been brought within our acknowledged boundaries. By such means the area of the United States has been extended during the past ten years, from to square miles, without including the great lakes which lie upon our northern border or the bays which indent our Atlantic and Pacific shores. Five new states have been admitted to the Union, and five new territories organized within the same period. Of course old Gazetteers can not faithfully give the present condi tion of the country.
