Students and researchers will find the American County Histories a treasure trove of detailed information and recollections on weather and climate of a particular region. Disasters that a region has suffered, especially violent storms, extended weather patterns and other natural disasters are well documented in these histories. Explorers, missionaries, sea captains, and settlers maintained climate and weather records – to determine favorable winds, for agricultural reasons, to know when inland waterways were usable, to prepare for settlement, and more. https://lnkd.in/e4zyU-EW
