However, there are many inter­esting th!ngs about the growth of the United States which are easily forgouen and which we would like to remember. 1.te Furpose of this article, cleating with the acquisition cf the fresent possessions o f tbe United States, and in fu­ture articies on the individual states of the Union, we shall dea! with only such facts as seem to us worth mentioning, and which the a\-erage person does not find time to read and refresh his memory oo such subjects. ,,.hen we think of the United Stat6s of America, we natu:a!Jy think of the unJion of forty-eight states and the District of Colu1nbia, bounded on the north by the Dominion of Canada, on the wes.t by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by ~lexico and the Gulf of ~1exico, and on the East by the .-'\ tJactic Ocean. For convenience, the a rea within these boundarie~ is called contjnental United States, to distinguish it from the non-contiguous territory which is also included in the gen'!ral term United St~tes.
