432 PRELIMINARY TO THE APPENDIX. 



The Appendix which follows is divided into three chapters. 

 The first of these embodies information of especial interest to 

 the immense army of home-seekers who, from every quarter, 

 are turning their eyes eagerly and hopefully toward the free 

 and boundless West. The second ohapter is designed for tha 

 use of the sportsman, and the third furnishes very valuable 

 and instructive details concerning the topography, resources, 

 climate, etc., of the plains, and, more particularly, a de- 

 scription of the larger streams, with their contiguous val- 

 leys, which drain the vast area included within the limits of 

 Buffalo Land. W. E. W.
