A window into early American geology, with dramatic finds and far‑reaching implications. This volume presents Featherstonhaugh’s detailed observations of the geology and mineral resources across Missouri, Arkansas, and nearby regions, drawing connections between surface features and deep underground processes. It covers lead mines, iron beds, and intrusive rock formations, framed by a methodical, almost day‑by‑day account of fieldwork and interpretation.

The report blends practical notes on ore yields and mining potential with broader ideas about how rocks, minerals, and earthquakes shaped the land. It situates discoveries within a sweep of earth history, noting ancient volcanic action, magnetic iron deposits, and the way landscapes reveal themselves through stratigraphy and structure. Readers will encounter both the thrill of prospecting and the challenges of explaining complex geology with early scientific tools.

Lead mineralization and its practical yields in mining locales.

Large iron veins and submagnetic iron exposures found on public lands.

A syenitic intrusive chain and its relation to surrounding rock, plus thoughts on its origin.

Observations on earthquakes, volcano‑like features, and their influence on rock formations.

Ideal for readers of historical geology, exploration narratives, and early 19th‑century scientific inquiry into North American geology.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an array of geological findings from the author's 1834 expedition to the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. It is a classic study on the mineral features of the region, and is vital for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of how geology connects with broader history, science, economics, and philosophy. The author is an esteemed geologist, commissioned to survey the region and describe the resources of the land. But his work goes beyond cataloging rocks and minerals: he delves into the historical evolution of the Earth, and how that history connects to the development and progress of life itself. This book is a fascinating account of a specific region's geology, and uses this detailed study to reveal the larger narrative of the planet's story. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
