Wherever there has been a variation from the usual conditions of the soil, on the prairie or in the river bottom, there is a corresponding change in the character of the vegetation. Thus, on the prairies we sometimes meet with ridges of coarse material,... The American Journal of Science and Arts - Page 1051859Full view - About this book
