Excerpt from Book of Information, and Settlers Guide for the Pacific Slope, Including the States of California, Oregon and Nevada, and Territories of Washington and Idaho, With a Description of and the Peculiarities of Each
The writer of this little work having for some time been engaged on a work of considerable magnitude (Harrison's Guide and Resources of the Pacific Slope,) has been addressed by letter and otherwise by many persons, both in the East and on this Coast, seeking information in regard to this section of country. Although we have in every instance paid the best attention that our time and circumstances would permit, yet owing to the great diversity of topography, soil, climate, productions, etc., of this Coast, it was impossible to give any very definite or intelligible idea of the country by any written or verbal communication of ordinary length. Besides, it became a heavy tax on our time, not to say anything of the expense attached, as it costs writers something to live as well as other people.
