RECURRENT THEMES IN HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF UNITED-STATES

Foreword: There is evidence that most college courses in the historical geography of the United States either follow or parallel the general path laid out by Ralph H. Brown in his well‐known college text in that field. I prepared this brief lecture as the closing one for a course based largely on Brown's text, though I think that this summary would also have served for the course as I taught it before Browns text was published. It is my hope that this statement of recurrent themes in the historical geography of the United States may be of use to college teachers for the ideas contained or as supplementary reading for classes in this field. for evident reasons, the original style of the lecture has been retained. © 1968, American Medical Association.
