Harrisburg is
the seat of government, on the east bank of the Susquehanna
River, 97 miles west north west from Philadelphia.
The Alleghany Mountains cross the state
from south west to north east and there are many smaller ranges
on each side of the principal ridge, and parallel to it. These
mountainous tracts cover all the central part of the state,
embracing nearly one seventh of its whole surface. In the south
east and north west, the country is either level or moderately
hilly. The soil is generally good, and much of it is of a
superior quality; the richest tract is in the south east, on
both sides of the Susquehanna. This part of the state has been
long settled, and is under high cultivation. Between the head
waters of the Alleghany and Lake Erie, the soil is excellent.
The most important production of the state by far is wheat,
which grows here in great perfection; and next in value is
Indian corn. Rye, barley, buckwheat, oats, hemp, and flax are
also extensively cultivated. Cherries, peaches, and apples are
abundant, and much cider is made. Although the state is better
adapted to grain than to grazing, yet in many parts there are
large dairies, and fine horses and cattle are raised.
