Our Western Empire.

The article provides information about the book "Our Western Empire," by L.P. Brockett. In this book, the attempt is made to set forth the varied resources of all the States and Territories west of the Mississippi. Its purpose is to furnish emigrants and workingmen in the Eastern States and in Europe, who may desire to seek new homes and fortunes in the great West, with such information as will guide them in the choice of a location and career. The author has sought to embrace within the scope of his work almost every conceivable branch of the subject, from the geology, natural history, mineral and agricultural resources, and industrial development of the country down to the minutest detail affecting the social life and relations of its inhabitants.
