Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valley, Plain and Peak: Scenes on the Line of the Great Northern Railway To many persons the country west of Chicago is still a hazy geographical proposition, and St. Paul and Minneapolis, those posts in the gateway to an empire, seem on the confines of civilization; while to those less informed the words Minnesota, Montana, Washington, which represent new and powerful States, may mean some new patent medicine or the name of a race-horse. It seems but yesterday that "Beyond the Mississippi" was a dimly known region, lying off toward the sunset; and to-day that the locomotive had just entered the vast solitude and scattered population and prosperity in its wake. The mission of this little work is to present a few impressions of the country beyond the Mississippi, as traversed by the Great Northern Railway for thousands of miles, in a belt of States pulsating with life and growing under the spur of steam and electricity.
