GEOGRAPHY OF THE KLAMATH HIGHLANDS. 



The first part in the historical and social study of a tribe or nation 

 must be a thorough examination of the country and of the climate (in the 

 widest sense of this term) in which it has grown up, for these two agen- 

 cies give character to peoples, races, languages, institutions, and laws. 

 This principle applies equally to the cultured and to the ruder or less 

 developed populations of the globe, for none of them can possibly liold 

 itself aloof from the agencies of nature, whether acting in a sudden man- 

 ner or gradually, like the influences of climate. The races inhabiting coasts, 

 islands, peninsulas, jungles, plains, prairies, woodlands, foot-hills, mountains, 

 and vallevs differ one from anotlier in having distinguishing characteristic 

 types indelibly impressed upon tlieir countenances by their different envi- 

 ronments. That upland and mountaineer tribes have made very different 

 records from those of nations raised in plains, lowlands, on coasts and i.slands 

 is a fact of which history gives us many well-authenticated instances.
