Description: Map of the population of North America, 1898 AD. "Many thousands of white men from western and central Europe have come across the Atlantic Ocean to seek homes in the United States and in CanadaÉThe Indians have been gradually driven westward and northward into the drier and colder and hence less desirable parts of the grand division by the ever-advancing tide of Éwhite settlersÉThere were always many more Indians in Mexico and Central America than in the wider part of the grand division further north, and not nearly so many white men have settled in these countries." —Redway, 1898.
