LIV. 134 136 138 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C., January 14, 1904. SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a revised (third) edition of the "Boundaries of the United States and of the Several States and Territories," as defined by treaty, charter, or statute. Besides giving the present status of these boundaries, I have endeavored to present an outline of the history of all important changes of territory, with the laws appertaining thereto. This work was first published as Bulletin No. 13, in 1885. A second edition, much enlarged, constituted Bulletin No. 171, published in 1900. |
