First published in 1891, 'Sketches of the Physical Geography and Geology of Nebraska' is an important early study of the geology of the American Midwest. Written by University of Nebraska professor Samuel Aughey, the book examines the geological history of the region and provides detailed descriptions of its landforms, soils, and water resources.
