  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Skyscrapers of New York Year: 1920 This picture shows the lower end of Manhattan Island. This is the business and financial center of New York city, and the office buildings are commonly known as skyscrapers because they are so high. The waterfront here is lined with long piers which jut out into the river. Between them are the deep-water docks which receive the largest ocean lines. The city of New York has the largest population of all the cities in the world except Greater London and outranks all others in export and import trade. Its excellent harbor affords a port for the largest vessels. Raw materials may be brought from all parts of the world. This location on the seashore, therefore, is one of the most desirable places in the United States for a city. In addition, New York has the advantage of being at the mouth of an important river. Northward from New York is the busy highway of travel through the valley of the Hudson, and equally important is the valley of the Mohawk, leading westward from Albany. By the Hudson-Mohawk, route supplies of raw material for manufacture, and great quantities of food, are brought from the rich agricultural lands of the interior. During the French and Indian War and the American Revolution the valley of the Hudson was a center of great struggle, for its possession by an enemy meant the separation of the only two thickly settled districts of American and the isolation of New England. In addition to its commerical advantages, New York is but a short distance from a large supply of fuel. From the Appalachian fields coal and oil are quickly and easily brought to the city for the use in the large factories. The leading industries in New York are the manufacture of clothing and machinery, printing and book-making, meat-packing, and the refining of sugar. New York has become the leading financial center of the world. There are many banks and insurance companies with large capital, and most the great industrial houses of American have offices in the city. The borough of Brooklyn developed as a large independent city across the river from New York City, but it has now become a part of the metropolis. It is an important center for the refining of sugar and the roasting and grinding of coffee and spices. Eastward from Brooklyn and northward along the banks of the Hudson River are chains of suburban towns where many of the people live who work each day in the metropolis. To the west, across the Hudson River, are Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark. These three cities are in New Jersey, but they have many of the same geographic advantages that New York City has. In addition to the busy industrial and commercial life of the city, New York is one of the leading educational and musical centers of this country, and it is fortunate in having wonderful collections of natural history and art.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fort Vancouver in 1845 Year: 1900 In 1824 Dr. John McLoughlin built the first Fort Vancouver on a broad high prairie nearly a mile back from the river. It had no block houses, which is evidence of the amicable relations between Dr. McLoughlin and the Indians. They called him "White Eagle Chief". In 1828 he built a new fort near the river - just out of reach of higher water. The sketch shown here is of this fort at about the time Dr. McLoughlin resigned from the service of the Hudson Bay Co., after having been its Chief Factor and the outstanding figure in the history of the Northwest for more than two decades.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Alexander Mackenzie Year: 2009 In 1789 Mackenzie, who was a printer in the Northwest Fur Co., explored westward from Hudson's Bay beyond the Great Slave Lake and discovered the river which now bears his name. He was convinced that an overland route must be found further south. In 1792 - 93 he led a party of ten men westward to what is now the Fraser river and followed that stream 'for twenty-five arduous days'. Baffled by the difficulties of keeping along the almost impassable banks of this river, they crossed the divide and by way of the rivers, now known as Blackwater, Dean and Bella Coola, reached the coast in July 1793. These explorers barely missed Vancouver's expedition which, during the same summer, explored the waters around Vancouver island. Before starting on the return eastward Mackenzie painted in large letters on the face of a rock: 'Alexander Mackenzie from Canada by land, the twenty-second of July, one thousand seven hundred and nintey three.' Thus was completed the first recorded overland journey across North America. See Carey's History of Oregon, Chapter XIII.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Docks Year: 1900 On above these markets to the north are the Chelsea Docks, some of the most famous in the world, for it is from these docks that the great ocean liners of the White Star and Cunard companies sail. They are massive things of concrete and will last for centuries. There are huge docks also from 44th to 48th streets, having piers 1,050 feet long, 150 feet wide, with berths 360 feet wide and 44 feet deep cut into solid rock, at a cost of $1,500,000 each. Just across the Hudson River from these docks on the Hoboken side is the former home of the great North German Lloyd and Hamberg-American lines. Their fleets now fly the American flag. The docks witnessed many stirring sights during the war, for it was from these docks that nearly four million American boys sailed to France. The property now belongs to the Federal Government.
