Plain, Prairie and Forest is a book written by Josiah Dwight Whitney and published in 1876. The book is a detailed account of Whitney's travels through the American West in the mid-19th century. Whitney was a geologist and naturalist who was part of the California Geological Survey, and the book reflects his scientific observations and insights into the natural world. The book is divided into three sections, each of which explores a different landscape: the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Coast. In each section, Whitney describes the geography, flora, fauna, and geological formations of the region, as well as the people who lived there. He includes anecdotes and personal observations about his travels, making the book a combination of scientific report and travelogue.Throughout the book, Whitney emphasizes the beauty and diversity of the American West, while also acknowledging the challenges and dangers of traveling through unfamiliar territory. He describes encounters with Native American tribes, as well as with settlers and pioneers, and reflects on the impact of European colonization on the land and its inhabitants.Overall, Plain, Prairie and Forest is a vivid and informative account of the American West in the mid-19th century, written by a scientist and explorer who was deeply fascinated by the natural world and the people who inhabited it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
