Excerpt from A Memoir on the History and Physical Geography of Minnesota Turns, in his thoughts, thy course 'twixt sea and sea, And shouts to think that all his tribes are free. Minnesota is the last legislative creation upon its waters, and bids fair, at no distant period, to make one of its noblest States. The area of territory comprised by it is computed by Mr. Darby at a fraction under square miles and it would be ample, in mere area, for the formation of three large States, facing respectively the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, including the residuary portion of Wisconsin, some twenty thousand square miles of which, in consequence of the ordinance of 1787, can never be incorporated into a State by itself, and comprehending, also, the large area lyin g above the mouth of the De Corbeau river, which is, 'in a measure, sphagnous, or arid. For this, we may deduct more square miles, which would reduce it to the com pass of two States of square miles each.
