Texas Divided by eastern prairie lands and western grazing country
In a May 5 1900 Des Moines letter the writer compares Texas geography to a map split by a central line, describing the eastern half as fertile farm country with blooms and crops and the western sixth as grazing land. He notes gulf winds, warm rains, and heavy floods that damage rivers and bridges, and observes rising manufacturing in the South led by Birmingham Alabama mills shipping cotton cloth to China.
