Excerpt from Home Building
We know there are thousands of men and women, of the various callings of life, crowded and pinched together in the great cities of this country, waiting, watching, and anxious, who if they knew of the opportunity to shake off these bonds and acquire a real home that lies fully Within the bounds of development through carefully directed application in the right direction, and who, if they knew of the ways which lead out of the maze in which they are entangled, would gladly go forth to apply their energies and skill in this most noble calling of life, Home Building. And it has been, more than anything-else, the strong desire and purpose of the author, to put a work in the hands of this class that will at once afford a vast amount of thoroughly practical information as to what, and how to build, and an invaluable and extensive line of facts and figures in reference to routes and places from New York to San Francisco, and, in fact, all that is needful to know about them to form a correct and safe opinion, that dictated this book, beside the wish to afford a numerous host of inquirers, investors, tradesmen, farmers, dealers, merchants and traders, a greater chain of information of such a nature, and in such a manner, to our knowledge never before attempted.
