A gem from the book is a report from James Monroe who had visited the Northwest Territory.

>>>A great part of the territory is miserably poor, especially that near Lakes Michigan and Erie; and that upon the Mississippi and Illinois consists of extensive plains which have not had from appearances and will not have a single bush on them for ages.<<<

He was looking at land tramped down by bison and fertilized by their manure for hundreds of thousands of years.
