The Resources And Prospects Of America Ascertained During A Visit To The States In The Autumn Of 1865 is a book written by Samuel Morton Peto and published in 1866. The book is a detailed account of Peto's visit to the United States in the autumn of 1865, during which he explored the country's resources and prospects. Peto was a British civil engineer and businessman who was interested in the economic potential of the United States. In the book, he describes his travels across the country, visiting cities and towns, meeting with business leaders and government officials, and observing the industrial and agricultural sectors. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the country's resources, including its vast mineral wealth, fertile soil, and abundant water resources. Peto also discusses the country's transportation infrastructure, including its railways, canals, and roads, and the potential for further development. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the economic and social conditions of the United States in the aftermath of the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
