National Parks of the United States examines why visitation will
always vary among the national parks just as it did at the time
this is covered by this study, the early 1950s. It explores the
factors that attract visitors to the National Parks and those that
have no bearing on the action of visitors. There is a rank
correlation method that reveals the relative degree of attraction
among factors that are responsible for the number of visitors
flocking to each of the national parks. Because the central problem
examined by this study is that of accounting for variations in the
numbers of visitors to the various national parks of the United
States, the analysis employs some widely accepted hypotheses
concerning national park visitation. By reviewing such factors as
nearly fishing streams, the availability of campsites, and the
populations of towns near each park, this study paints a picture of
what attracts visitors to one park over another. The natural beauty
of each of these parks also provides the backdrop for the
facilities that are made available and thus have a tremendous
impact upon visitor attendance and activities such as hiking,
camping, fishing, and climbing.

The presence of water, mainly rivers, contributed to the locations
of early pioneer settlements in the Nebraska Territory from 1855 to
1866. In Pioneer Settlement of Nebraska Territory, author Charles
Howard Richardson presents the findings from a study conducted
about factors that influenced Nebraska's early development. Pioneer
Settlement of Nebraska Territory explores the classification,
distribution, and characteristics of both the populated and rural
areas during this ten-year time period. With charts and
illustrations included, Richardson describes how the settlers at
major Missouri River towns depended on outfitting westbound
emigrants for their livelihood. He also describes how the outlying
territory, generally unoccupied, was confined to the lower reaches
of tributary streams, where surface water was available throughout
the year. Focusing on the eastern third of the territory, roughly
24,000 square miles, Richardson shows that early imports and
exports were shipped by means of Missouri River boats between St.
Louis and Omaha, and that the East-to-West transportation links
consisted mainly of overland wagon roads because there were no
navigable rivers in this pre-railroad period. Pioneer Settlement of
Nebraska Territory provides insight into Nebraska's earliest
development.
