Book excerpt: Excerpt from Survey of the Northwestern Boundary of the United States: 1857 1861 From time to time information respecting this line is needed by the Executive Departments. In 1897 the Geological Survey was directed by Congress to survey and mark the boundary between Montana and Idaho. In performing this duty it became necessary to connect with the survey of the forty-ninth parallel. The search then made of the records in the State Department showed the desirability of preparing a concise history of the northwestern boundary, its establishment, survey, and marking, with a summary of results. To exhibit such a history and summary is the object of this bulletin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
