Excerpt from The Geography and Industries of Wisconsin, Vol. 26 Among the Older states Of the East, where industrial growth has proceeded farther than it has in the West, certain geo graphical influences are seen to have effectively directed their development. The negative influence Of a thin soil and the positive influence Of abundant water power slowly led the people of New England away from general farming and toward manufacturing. Of course there were other causes. New York's physiography was, Of all the eastern states, most fav orable to the building Of a canal which should connect the At lantic Ocean and the Great Lakes, and the building of the Erie Canal turned the commerce Of half the nation through that state. Manufacturing in Pennsylvania has been Wonderfully stimulated by the state's mineral wealth. New Jersey, one of the smallest states, ranks among the first five In manufacturing, due very largely to an exceptionally favorable position. SO it is that water power in New England, physiography in New York, minerals in Pennsylvania, and situation in the case of New Jersey, have exerted a directing influence upon the de velopment Of these states.
