About this book
Minnesota; Its Character and Climate is by Ledyard Bill, and its full title adds sketches of other resorts favorable to invalids, copious notes on health, and hints to tourists and emigrants. The author dedicates the volume of sketches to his nieces. The preface says that by general consent Minnesota has enjoyed a superior reputation for climate, soil, and scenery beyond that of any other State in the Union, with, perhaps, a single exception.
The text says that for half the diseases afflicting mankind, prevention may be assured, to a great extent, by attention to the dictates of hygienic laws. The text describes hygienic laws as no more or less than the laws of moderation and common sense. A passage in quotation marks says that at the Deer Lodge Pass, in Montana, where a road crosses the Rocky Mountains, its altitude above the sea is three thousand five hundred feet less than the Union Pacific Railroad at Sherman.
